There are lots of things I wouldn’t tolerate in real life but are ok in books….stalking as the foundation of a relationship is not one of them. The resolution of this key conflict was….the FMC decided not to be mad because her friends found the stalking/paying her fiancé to leave her romantic. He also refused to apologize. Give me a break. 

Also, the slow burn was 100 pages too long, the late insertion of a tinder-swindler character was odd, and the sex scenes were neither cute nor sweet. 

Finally, the doctors asked her multiple times if she had head trauma and she kept saying no despite a very intense fall in central part just a few months earlier where she was told she hit her head. How are the editors or ARC readers miss this??
