I picked up the first book in the series on sale online and immediately added it to the TBR queue and brought it up to the front of the list. This was actually the first book that I bought as a paperback and as an audiobook and flitted between the two whenever I could. I was that obsessed. 

What I liked about Mile High was the unpredictability of the characters. When I thought the MMC was going to behave in a certain way, he did the complete opposite. I liked that the story wasn’t predictable, and the characters weren’t following the typical ‘bad boy’ ‘good girl’ trope.

Each character has its own issues, reflecting exactly how real life goes. The scale of the issues vary (again, as it does in real life) but none are ignored or overplayed. 

The abandonment issues of the MMC (aka Zanders) gave him the determination to be a professional athlete, but a cloud still hung over his head. Until Stevie came along. Dealing with her own uncertainty about why the people in her life wanted her, the parallels between the characters was something I hadn’t realised until I came to analyse the book after finishing it. 

They both have to deal with fame and people who take advantage of that but in very different ways which define their responses and shows the reader how people deal with circumstances in their own way. 

As I said before, the fact that I bought both the paperback and the audiobook meant I couldn’t put it down and didn’t want to waste a second of free time not knowing what happens next. Says it all really.
