This fell short in so many ways to me. I both read and listened to the audiobook, while the narrator was great- I wasn’t a fan of the story. 

I don’t like my FMC weak and Kal was too pressed for me. It’s clear she’s naive and sheltered and even after some lived experience- she still came across weak. 

Not having dual POVs really ruined this. Because it really made the FMC look desperate. Danny wasn’t protective of her, he didn’t really seem to be pursuing her. Even after he was free to be with her and after his friend asked her out. He maintained a distance. One of two late night calls and one pop up doesn’t say anything. Nothing about his actions said he loved her as much as she did him. 

Sorry- not a fan. I want my MMC down bad for the FMC and I want his perspective of things. 

If anything, his mother is the only reason there was indication he was really in love with her. Also, I hated that the majority of the story, they were not a couple. Even in the flashbacks they weren’t a couple.
