Review: Layover by Amy Andelson & Emily Meyer

Synopsis:

Flynn: At first we were almost strangers. But ever since I moved to New York, Amos was the one person I could count on. And together we were there for Poppy. (I mean, what kind of parents leave their kid to be raised by a nanny?) I just didn’t expect to fall for him—and I never expected him to leave us.

Amos: I thought I was the only one who felt it. I told myself it was because we were spending so much time together—taking care of Poppy and all. But that night, I could tell she felt it, too. And I freaked out—you’re not supposed to fall for your stepsister. So I ran away to boarding school. I should have told her why I was leaving, but every time I tried, it felt like a lie.

One missed flight was about to change their lives forever….

My Review:

This was an unexpected read for me. To be honest, I planned on unhauling this book a couple of times. It's cute cover really made me want to keep it though. I'm glad I kept it! I really enjoyed my time reading this book. I thought it was a super cute idea.

I love a romance that kind of blooms from step siblings. It's a trope that I cannot get over. I'm trash for it, I know. I like that it's so subtle in this book. You know there was an issue between Flynn and Amos. I love that this book was not centered on their relationship.

The main reason why this book didn't get a five star rating is that these kids that committed plenty of crimes, did not receive appropriate punishment. Stealing a car and someone's credit cards is definitely a big no-no. Being grounded is not a good enough punishment. I think this book kind of glorifies doing these things without actual repercussions.

Other than that, I really enjoyed this book. I'm shocked with how fast I read through it!

3/5 Stars
