Wanted more of Sarah Hogle after reading "You Deserve Each Other" but sadly this didn't hit like I thought it would. Wesley as an MC just wasn't doing it for me 80% of the time, so it was hard to get into the story. Maybell was also a little inconsistent, and I would've appreciated some internal dialogue from her on the absurdity of her situation and her response to it.
Two stars are for the way Sarah Hogle writes a truly vulnerable male lead. I like how the female MC doesn't try to knowingly or unknowingly "fix" the male MC, like you would see in any popular grumpy x sunshine story or anything spat out by Ana Huang. That stuff gets really boring really fast for me, so leads like Wesley and Nicholas are refreshing with their self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Even if Wesley wasn't the thing I was looking for, some aspects of his character were really stand-out. I love this vibe and I wish I had an convenient list to consult to read more of this same thing.
