3.0

I am not the audience for this book. There are exceptions, but in general, romance doesn't speak to me unless it's more light-hearted than this one. I liked the main character but did not like any of her love interests, and much of the second half seemed to be wish fulfillment not grounded in realism. It just wasn't my thing.
