The storyline line was pretty good. What ultimately did me in was the way the characters were constantly in their own heads. The miscommunication trope was heavy here. In each POV, they were angry at themselves, at each other, at their situation. Always second-guessing themselves and overthinking what the other person might be thinking, and yet they NEVER JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER! Honestly, I have enough of this kind of anxiety in my daily life, I don't need it in my fiction too.

I told myself that if the truth came out and things started looking better by the end of this book, then I'd go ahead and read the second one. Buuuuuut no... Just more of the same and no change in sight as far as I can tell. I'll see myself out.
