- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated

Unfortunately, this was a mixed bag.
What I enjoyed:
- The hospital setting: I am a huge sucker for medical dramas
- A take-no-shit heroine: Devyn is smart, ambitious, and damn good at her job and she will not tolerate any type of undermining
- The friend/family group: I definitely wanted to see more of Aviva and Eric!
What I did not enjoy/ What I found underwhelming:
- The initial interactions between Devyn and Joseph: I just could not get behind the whole "I choose to get under your skin because I like you" thing. Are we not adults? Can we not flirt and express romantic interest without the disrespect?
- The structure/ pacing: Some elements of the story seemed to be repeated over and over, while other parts seemed to come and go rather quickly.
- The ending: When I realized where the story was headed, I groaned internally. Given everything else the love interests endured throughout the rest of the book, I was hoping for a different conclusion.
