I love a good besties/roommates that are forced to spend weeks confined together while one takes care of the other. What I don’t love is a whole lot of guilt and one half of the couple meanly accusing the other of things they didn’t do with no room for simple explanations.

Oy.

This book missed the mark in just so many ways. None of the characters had depth or were very likeable. Avery was a pick me. Declan was a caricature and wholly underdeveloped to the point of being so flat and unattractive. Plus WHY have his POV? It was only in like 5/25 or whatever chapters so it just seemed nonsensical. 

This book was also REALLY flippant about the car accidents. Like her parents are supposed to have died in one and then she gets in one and she's just like "la dee da I'm recovering"?! No. 

Also, this book was not friends to lovers. It was long term roommates. There was no connection beyond "hey we live together and like soccer." And yes it's my favorite trope but that usually means I'm more forgiving. When you biff that trope I get grumpy.

Finally, one of the worst 3rd act breakups on the market. Just full on pointless withheld communication and manipulation. Yick.

Great example of friends to lovers trope. Refreshing to see two characters willing to admit their transgressions, understand how they wronged/hurt others, and seek professional help (i.e., therapy) to deal with their baggage.
