I honestly didn't enjoy reading this book very much, If it wasn't an ARC I wouldn't have finished it. It wasn't until I was 60% done that I wanted to keep reading. Issues I had include poor character development, glamorizing toxic behavior in relationships (though the characters seem to realize this later), clunky writing, switching from past to present quickly and between the two main characters was at times disorienting, and the supporting characters (friends and significant others) were one dimension/didn’t add much.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a copy
