 This was so disappointing. I actually had to look up what the book was about because I forgot it all. There were some parts of it that were interesting but I just did not like this main character or the main hero at all. Duncan is interesting in theory, but he goes off the deep end with his PTSD and it is explored through tropes that I hate. It felt like drama for the sake of drama instead of actually exploring these very different characters who were both recovering from trauma. The school reminded me of a school I worked at so that was interesting, wish we had seen more of the teachers there or any characters outside of the main hero and heroine, that would've made this feel more authentic. The worst one I've read by Katherine Center to date she is usually lovely.
