On the one hand, I rooted for the charscters and the relationship had good chemistry and made my heart hurt. On the other, the logic and reasoning of the main character is nonsensical:
She has an unrequited crush on her coworker? She quits her job, and leaves town and her life behind.
The same guy moves to where she lives now? She HAS to quit and move away from a life she loves.
None of it made sense. Also the backstory for the emotional conflict was not built up enough that I bought the final conflict.
In the end, I read it in one sitting but it left a lot to be desired.
