My only complaint is that it felt like things moved really quickly. I would've appreciated the book being like 20% longer to smooth some of the plot timing out.

I rated it less stars because sometimes the pacing felt off and things wrapped up a little too rapidly for my taste. Also, it was very British in terms of dialect and writing style, so at times I had to reread dialogue or internal monologue to get the intended tone and such.
It's a very enjoyable read if you like tropes and storylines that focus solely on the two main characters.

I absolutely adored this book! Mabel and Alfie were such lovable characters both with self image issues that I think many people can relate to.
Another absolute standout in the book we’re the intimate scenes. They were so hot, so passionate, and so loving. I really found myself blushing at times.
My one qualm is that the book was not told in dueling perspectives. I was desperate to hear Alfie’s internal monologue through all the doubts they were clearly both having about the other’s attachment.
Other than that just a wonderful, emotional, sexy read!
