Hated that the fmc was constantly feening over her loser ex for about 75% of the book when the mmc is right there! Granted the circumstances of how they met and why they stayed together wasn’t ideal for a relationship but the constant bitching and worrying about “ugh if I could just get out of here and see my ex so we could get back together” or “I wonder how he’s doing” when he treated her like shit especially the last year of their EIGHT YEAR RELATIONSHIP with him just leading her on and refusing to get married bc “it was too much commitment” yet the mmc who’s known her less than a couple months is giving her orgasms when her ex could never manage to get her off. My fave thing the mmc’s said was “why’re you crying over a man who’s never made you come? actually why’re you crying over a man period?” Like THANK YOU!!! Even he gets it 😭😭 it was just frustrating having to read her internal monologue about her missing him when she just missed the idea of being with someone. If the book wasn’t focused on that loser for majority of her pov (third person or not) the actual plot and action could’ve been worn better and more engaging for the reader.
