I finished the story, but this wasn't for me. The characters were enjoyable, but this book would have benefited from some heavy editing- typos, repetitive phrases, and too many short scenes that made the pacing feel disjointed. 

The real reason for the low rating is all of the unnecessary trauma for the FMC. In my opinion, it was truly excessive and not needed to progress the plot (i.e. the deadbeat mom returning).
