I wasn't sure I was going to finish this book. The first initial chapters were so cringe with bad dialogue I almost stopped reading. It gets better over time, though, and I wound up enjoying the character conflict. The ending of this book

gives you a happily ever after,

which is what I think most readers of this genre enjoy. It's an easy read and enjoyable for most.
