Oh, I am a bit conflicted about this one, but I can't round up like I usually would for this series. I really liked Daphne and Rickie (which is a fine name for the campus eccentric, but much hard to deal with as a romantic lead), and I appreciated what they were individually going through.
But I think the whole situation with Reardon was a bit much for me. Like this series has dealt with some heavy back stories (cults, kidnapping, drug cartels, dead parents, etc.), but this one was way too present. Like the tension outside of the relationship was unpleasant for me, and because it was so realistic, it was harder to enjoy.
