  • Horrible handling of PTSD. 
  • He calls her “sugar tits” despite being in his 30s.
  • Her blunt questions about sex made her seem much younger and immature because of the way she asks them.
  • The fake dating plot line was so loose it’s not even funny.
  • The “bet” premise was so completely flawed that the author gave up on it like 25 pages later.
  • Writing was extremely rushed and the epitome of telling us everything instead of SHOWING us anything. Lots of immature phrases, poor sentence structure, and overall no intrigue added to her bland ass characters through the writing.
  • The bathtub scene where he SHAVES HER 🐱 please never do that again Jesus Christ.
  • Weird obsession with his feet.
  • Literally implies that sex fixes things better than therapy. Yikes.
  • The entire book was ridiculously rushed and tied up too neatly at every turn.
