Honestly, I read this book so quickly that I can't remember a good chunk of it, or what happened in the end lol. 

What I will say is that typically I adore a friends to lovers trope in any book, but this one just didn't do it for me. I think part of that is that I really didn't like the female main character. I found her to be overly self serving and self absorbed to the point of it really impacting all of the relationships in her life. I understand that part of this personality trait is an element of her personal growth throughout the book, but it was really off putting to me in a main character who I am supposed to root for. I enjoyed Josh as a character more, but he was so overacommodating to Ari and her needs that I felt like elements of his personality were lost, and not in a personal growth way. The whole last portion of the book felt like such a struggle to get through because it dragged so much. 

This book has so many plot elements that I typically would love but it definitely fell flat for me.
