4.0

I feel like this was 2 separate books. The 1st half was a struggle to get through, going to be perfectly honest-I skimmed most of the 1st 50% and really just read the dialog portions. Then the last 50% was absolutely perfect! Hence, the 4 stars because the last half saved the whole book for me. There was just too much self discussion and repeating of the same thoughts/points. It felt like filler. Also, I truly despise the miscommunication trope. Nate is such a great MMC, and he saved the book for me. I did enjoy the book overall and will definitely read the next one.
