My favorite character was Ben. I want to have hope that there are men in the real world who are willing to work on themselves in the same way he does. I appreciated the way you could see his growth especially in the way he communicated about his emotions. Anna I didn’t like as much. She was very frustrating. I hated that she was going to lie to Ben about the fake dating. I understand the reasoning but I don’t think it was a good enough one. She just seemed like a selfish person. She pushed Ben to talk about his father clearly seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it right after telling Ben off for something SHE didn’t want to talk about. It felt like a power play. The same way it felt when she brought Simon to airport without telling Ben. Then she continued to lie to herself when it came to Ben’s proclamation unnecessarily hurting both him and her. I think if I saw her work through her emotions with someone else the same way Ben did I would’ve been more understanding. But it seemed like instead of actually working on her anxiety she just tried to will it away which obviously doesn’t work. I can acknowledge that her entire behavior is very realistic and would occur in the real world but I don’t really read for realism

This one wasn’t my favourite of this series. I found the end just a bit too “pat”… like there was no real lead up to it. But I still really enjoyed it, and the entire series as a whole. I am not a big “sex scene” reader so I appreciate that this author keeps the lengthy sex scenes to a minimum. Often I feel like “yes yes, we all know how to have sex…can we get back to the story now please?!” and this author typically writes fewer long involved scenes which I appreciate.
Sad to see this series end and looking forward to more from her.

This was a great easy read which was somewhat predictable, but exactly what I was looking for!
