2.75

Smut wise, this was perfect. Very hot. 

Plot wise, the first half was 4.50/5.00 while the second half was 2.00/5.00. 

There were ingredients to make this into a riveting and emotionally profound story. Unfortunately, the potential remained untapped. The characters became insufferable. Especially Poppy (paired with Tyler’s incessant moping over her). 

Let’s just say, if this were real life, I’d be more inclined to call this a trauma bond rather than love.
