This was a good read...
Except it has too many gratuitous sex scenes such that parts where the main couple aren't together are more interesting.
Marcus, the male lead, has no character either: he loves April and he has a complex. The end. Alex, his best friend with little screen time here (lead for the second book - no wonder it rates better) has so much more character.
I like the messages of not needing to forgive or expose yourself to toxicity from anyone, even family, and that you can build a positive community.
There are much better romances out there but if you are wanting a solid book and wouldn't mind reading or skipping a good chunk of sex scenes, then why not pick up this one?
