Characters like this are what makes people believe they can treat women however they want and get away with it. 

I started off really enjoying this book. I liked the concept, the romance and the chemistry the characters have together. 

I hate how it is written to make it sound like anyone with scars/disabilities should be embarrassed about it. I hated the assault scene and how it was just brushed under the carpet. I hated the

“I have never wanted to pin a girl to the floor before now” comment.

I hated the ending and how she forgave him for doing something so unforgivable. Fuck this book.

“You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have reread this book possibly two-three times within the past 5 years. It feels that I never understood this book as deeply as I did this time around. 
At first, I thought it was a bit too unrealistic for me with the stranger to lovers/fake dating trope and the two characters Fallon and Ben falling in love with each other with only three or so days within three years. But, that bothersome dissolved a bit and I just enjoyed the influx’s of emotions felt. 
I liked seeing the true and real feelings both characters had not only towards each other on their rocky hill of experiences but, I also enjoyed their feelings and thoughts of themselves. We just see the changes and character development and I enjoyed that. I definitely annotated with many impacting statements, funny lines, and loving statements said.
