Thank you the opportunity to read and review this title. Unfortunately, this book will not open on my Nook. I have tried several times to add it and I get an error every time.

This was another cute book from Entangled Teen Crush. Again, I wanted more. The third person was awkward here, but I did really like Oliver. I'm not really sure about Elena, though.

3.5 Stars

The Chestnuts and the Princes have been at war for years. An old family feud that has spiraled out of control even has the town divided. With both families owning sporting goods stores placed right across the street from each other, there's not a day that goes by where the feud isn't on their minds. The only difference is the Princes are making money while the Chestnuts are struggling. When a mobile app scavenger hunt whips the town into a frenzy, Elena Chestnut finds herself caught up in the middle and puts her right in Oliver Prince's way.

I struggled a little with this book and initially I wanted to give it just three stars. Most in part because of Elena. I just really did not like her. Her character is extremely petty and immature. Her attitude alone turned me off from the start. It's amazing her family's store even had customers at all with her working there. She yelled at almost everyone she came into contact, lashed out at them because she was upset with her own life, and refused to acknowledge that people aren't their parents (mainly Oliver and Regina).

Another big turnoff for me was what happens between two of the parents. **Spoiler Alert** Why did that kiss even exist? It's cheating. You're both married.**End Spoiler** I felt it was completely unnecessary and hindered the plot more than helped. I don't see how both parties remained completely ambivalent towards it later.

What saved this book was Oliver and the supporting characters - most importantly Harper. Despite his families feud with the Chestnuts, Oliver could really care less. He lived in the world of computers. It isn't until he's forced to look up from that world that he realizes just how much he's been missing. And not just on the romantic front. His friendship with Harper was a surprising evolution. Whereas Elena only thought about how to bring him down, Oliver tried to help Elena - to share information when he found out the hidden secrets of their parents past. He even tried to help with business ideas, something that he really didn't need to do.

Then there was Harper. Can we please get more of her? She was by far the most interesting character. Though I figured out her secret long before it was revealed, I enjoyed watching her come into her own.

Set in a small town in the middle of nowhere surrounded by pretty much constant winter, the town itself adds it's own character. While the ending was maybe just a little to cutesy and perfect for me, it fit the story and I ended up enjoying it. I really liked Hammerele's first book, The Sound of Us, and look forward to more from her.

I really enjoyed this modern take on Romeo and Juliet. Hammerle really set the back drop with feuding families and star-crossed lovers but thankfully this story has a happier ending. I loved how modern this book is with a lot of the plot being centered around a Pokémon Go type game. I understood the struggle of going “hunting” for stuff like the characters did and have seen first-hand the sense of commodity it can bring to a community. Elena’s mom did annoy me a little bit but overall I really liked the characters in the book and not just the main characters. This book also has some LGBTQIA+ characters in it which I really like, specifically there is a Bi character and a Lesbian character. I really enjoyed Harper’s character and wish we had got to see more of her coming into terms with her sexuality but I do understand that she wasn’t the main character in the book. Although I was getting some vibes that maybe she would be a main character in another book, not sure if it will happen but here’s to hoping.

I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Will update with links to where I posted my review online closer to the release date. (Final review might change slightly but will have the same basic message).
