 This one was rough. I understand that English is probably not Elena Armas’ first language, but the editor should have done a better job to not make the dialogue so stilted. And the book is SO LONG. No rom-com needs to be more than 400 pages. (Even 350 pages is typically too long.) It just got SO repetitive at parts. 

And I still don’t forgive Aaron for not sticking up for Lina at that early meeting.
