     This was a deeper new adult romance than I'm used to. There was more backstory to the main characters and they had more baggage than many new adult romances, which I liked. It tackled a lot of mental health and abusive ex-partner issues. 
    However, James wasn't completely likable and had anger issues. As well as a kind of obsessive attachment thing going on with his partners, where it was ALL about them and nothing else in his life. Making even the main relationship not completely healthy. 
    The male narrator wasn't great the female narrator was good. She did a great job with different tones for different characters.
     Overall it was a good book with a lot of emotional depth. I do plan to continue the series.
