Frankie has a habit of not divulging any information about herself and then blowing up on Ezra, blaming him for not knowing how to better handle it. We see this with her reaction to the proposal, with how she reacted to his praise and questions about her musical talents, and on and on. Could he have asked more questions about her life before they met in college during their relationship? Absolutely. But the few times we're shown him doing so, Frankie shuts conversation down almost immediately and doesn't want to talk about it. It's not really a surprise he doesn't continue to ask for more personal details after that, and I don't really think he's in the wrong for respecting that boundary she clearly set.
I didn't find myself rooting for their relationship because they spent nearly the entire time fighting, telling each other how much they hate the other, and bringing up all the old stuff from a decade ago to throw in each other's faces about how bad a person they were for doing x, y, and z. Not to mention Ezra having been in a long-term relationship until that day with someone he had every intention of marrying until maybe an hour before midnight. I'm supposed to believe that by the end -- which all takes place in a single day -- they suddenly have put all of that behind them and want to get back together?
I'll say that at least their friends throughout the story helped to keep me reading until the end, but the ending didn't feel even remotely earned.
