The ending to me was frustrating, especially since I really loved the rest of the book! It wasn't a bad ending, it just didn't have the feel I was hoping for. Third act breakups really ruin a book for me.

Ending felt rushed.some Plots were left unfinished which left me with questions. Overall, I enjoyed the book as it was well written and had interesting characters.

Okay I am completely shocked at how much I enjoyed this book. I'm all about mature relationships, and the character growth on these two - chef's kiss.

What I liked best about this story is that Rory & Mike both grow: they grow together as they develop their feelings for each other, and they grow as flawed individuals learning to love themselves. There's a third-act breakup here, which I normally hate, but makes sense with the context of the story. If I have half the emotional development that the characters in this have, I'd be much better off in my life.
