This really didn’t work for me and I’m sad reading all of the great reviews . . . ugh. I just had to force myself to keep picking this up and could barely make myself read much of it in one go. I was really skimming by the end to just get it done.

I just didn’t connect with the characters. It didn’t even bother me that they were such a toxic mess, that’s fine. But I just didn’t find myself rooting for their relationship at all. It felt like a lot of random one-shot scenes about characters without much of an overarching plot. That’s fine when I really connect with the characters, but this one just fell short for me. 

I also didn’t like all these random people conveniently swooping in to save the day for no reward in return. I called the one “twist” from a light year away because it just made absolutely no sense that it would be anything else.

I’m still open to giving these authors another go to see if I like a different title better. I don’t know. I really wanted to love this one and I wish I would’ve been hooked/emotionally invested like a lot of the other reviewers.
