at times it felt like conflict was made only to be extremely quickly resolved. there were points where things were resolved unrealistically, and it felt like, through some conflicts that felt almost staged, everything seemed to unrealistically work out for the characters. otherwise, the characters and themes were interesting and I was hooked, dispite my eye-rolls at some of the plot points. I probably won't read the sequel, like I didn't read the epilogue. might recommend to someone who likes simple romances and doesn't like conflict, but not for people who like more complex themes and ideas in their stories.
