Over all Meh. Super easy to follow along and guess the plot. I finally got surprised 72% of the way in. I listened to the whole book at 1.25-1.50 speed which helped. I did enjoy the epilogue.

Ryan is an awful human being and deserves nothing. Man is really crazy… and just so immature. Favourite character was Duke hands down. Absolutely devoured this book in like 3+ hours!! And it really satisfying my romance novel craving so yay. But yes I hate Ryan.

I read this in one sitting, and I enjoy the author’s writing (I liked a previous book of hers), but I just wasn’t feeling the story on this one. I’m really not sure these two people should end up together. At the very least they should both have had therapy first.

The first half was enjoyable, but the second half was painful. I pushed through, having to skim the las 10-15%, it was just bah, no good.
In the end I disliked the main characters so much, that I was fine with them being together. Lol
I would not recommend this as a romance, perhaps as "chick lit".
