Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
The main story felt disjointed. And while it was set up as a forbidden romance, the stakes didn't feel "High", so to speak. Plus, whenever Brenna tried to explain the relationship she had with her dad and how he "didn't trust her", I couldn't stop thinking to myself "why can't you realize that it's cause he's worried for you??", but I digress. Even though it wasn't the best, the last fourth of the book made up for it. And, I'll be honest, Jake Connelly made the entire book worth it. I also really really enjoyed how Brenna and Jake's careers were a big part of the story. Overall, it could've been better.
