For the most part, this story had me hooked, and I found myself leaning into it and giggling in several places. My complaints are this: the author really limited showing the emotions of the FMC, which was confusing and made her feel flat in important scenes, and the fact that she only made the MMC apologize in one paragraph after the third act breakup before they got back together again. (Yeah, spoiler, it's a HEA.) The angst of the breakup lasted more like fifteen pages, if not longer--he should have groveled. At minimum, he should have brought her flowers! Even when he followed through on his promise during their breakup, that wasn't an apology. It was just him being overbearing after he had relinquished the right to be. I wasn't impressed with that.
It's a good book, but that lack of sufficient groveling made the ending feel rushed, and I couldn't even fully appreciate it when they got back together because it just wasn't enough. The author didn't give an accurate representation of how difficult it is to rebuild trust after it's been broken, especially in someone with trauma. Add to that that the FMC is familiar with the pretty words that abusers use to lure their victims back in, and she should have known better. Especially for that, I'm disappointed in the way the author wrote the end of this book.
If you need something relatively lighthearted and a heroine who can mostly give as good as she gets, this book might be for you. While difficult topics are mentioned, none of it takes place "on page."

I really liked this book… except for the way Merrick/the love interest asked for the FMC‘s forgiveness. It was pretty lackluster, but the proposal was pretty cute.
In general I really liked the book and liked it especially a lot that there was a dual pov - but we mostly saw Merrick‘s pov as flashbacks at first which felt nice.
I liked Evie enough and her relationship with Kitty was nice.
