If I wasn’t listening to the audiobook this definitely would’ve been a dnf for me. I feel like there was no character development early on, all we learned about them was that Avery is ‘one of the guys’ and decklan has daddy&commitment issues. It feels like the author tried to make cute moments but I never felt smiley or giggly reading it, never really felt the connection between the characters. The end was so drawn out, obviously they needed it but it was a very annoying conflict and the book felt repetitive brining up the same problems over and over again. It annoyed me how introspective they all of a sudden we’re at the end. Glad it’s over

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.
