I can see, to a point, where the good things come from. A girl who doesn't "let" trauma control her. I can see how that would offer praise. But, at the same time, I can see how this could be slightly offensive to people who've lived that trauma. It's a nice message, but I don't think it was handled as well as it could have been. Especially with how quickly she was able to be intimate with someone else. I know healing is different for everybody but I also think that it should have been handled differently.
I liked the dual narrative, but I think it left the reveal of the secret admirer less mysterious. Though I don't think that was really anything more than a MacGuffin in the first place. It wasn't supposed to be a mystery, but then I wonder what the point was.
I liked how things were handled when it came out who did the crime, and how the characters made mature decisions. I dislike how in a lot of these books when things like this happen, the characters "deal with it themselves" when a crime is committed, rather than going to the cops the way they should. And they went to the cops and handled it the way it should be.
I liked that Ava and Lee took time apart after everything as well, it helped them both find their feet so to speak. But I wish Ava had a POV epilogue. It felt like after everything it was more about Lee than Ava.
