I really enjoyed this over the course of a long car ride. The first half was really good but the second half fell a bit flat. I didn’t understand why the mc’s fell back in love and it didn’t have the slow-burn angst I wanted. It was more miscommunication and odd pacing. However, I liked the setting of the book and how the mmc came into his development and reconciliation with his family. (Except his mom, she needed to do better) His character development was just so strong that hers was lacking and boring in comparison.
