I really wanted to like this book. The summary sounded interesting and I liked the idea of the characters and plot. This is a book that wasn't for me. I struggled to get into it and I didn't care of the characters and what they were going through.

All trigger warnings apply to side plots and relationships outside of the main couple. Only positive, healthy romance is championed.anavidreader_18's review against another edition

This book has single handedly raised my expectations for all future romances. The characters felt so real and beautifully constructed. They had a good amount of flaws which not only made sense for them but also made them redeemable and loveable. The romance felt honest and realistic with healthy communication and understanding throughout. At no point did I get angry at them for not communicating well or at all because when they did miscommunicate it made sense on their characters, and they did find a way to resolve it well.
My only complains would be the sort of 'argument/breakup' they had at the end. It felt very out of nowhere and didn't make a whole lot of sense. There where parts that I understood, but all in all it just felt unnecessary and only there for drama.
I also went into this book as not realising it had spice content, which in all honesty is completely fine and handled well, it is just not something I am comfortable reading. So if the author ever decides to write a YA or closed door/clean romance best bet I'll be picking it up.
All in all, not something I'll be reading more of but I don't regret reading this book one bit.
