The communication between the MCs and their inner dialogue were two of the best parts in the book. The author really dived into their thoughts and emotions, and they seemed so realistic for the circumstances they were both in.
Brent’s journey with his chronic pain was wonderful. I loved seeing a character with chronic pain in such detail, hearing how the pain affected him both mentally and physically. I thought this rep was excellent.
John had a compelling journey too, even thought I got annoyed with a major action of his in the third act.
Still, I could understand why he was doing the annoying thing and it felt very human. The way he apologized for the annoying thing was too notch though.
The ex wife character bothered me a little — partially because she sucked, and partially because she fell into the stereotype of mean ex wife.

One night stand turns to a couple of men seeking comfort in each other's company. The hurt/comfort aspect of this was pretty great, because both men are for different reasons starved of intimacy and company. Weirdly enough, I most enjoyed the inclusion of
