Slightly spoilery:
I did not enjoy this book. I really really wanted to. But alas. Neither MC was likeable or really had a satisfying arc. They complained the WHOLE time. As the reader I felt like the author thought I was dumb, explicitly reminding us EVERY CHAPTER 
a. That they hated each other (but that they were horny AF for each other)
B. That Corrie is HOT (seriously her boobs are mentioned CONSTANTLY)(also, this fact is the BANE of her existence and causes her so much grief and yet she loves her body (but not really??))
C. Even though this dig is the culmination of her LIFE'S work all that matters is this white dude with six pack abs

Ford DRIPS with white male privilege throughout their relationship and constantly gets away with treating her like shit and STILL gets what he wants in the end.

Ethan, Sunny, and Agnes were more engaging characters. 

Skip this one.
