I dunno, the plot was a bit all over the place.
And the pacing was wild considering Marshall and Wren know each other for under a week in the first half and then literal months span the second half of the story.
The geocaching angle was almost completely dropped in the second half of the story for a bit too predictable twist/trope that felt very contrived and uninspired.
Like soap opera, but lame.
And in spite of the heavy-handed, manufactured drama moments, I never really felt any angst as a reader, and that’s kind of all that I was really looking for in this read.
There were some good lines in terms of the quality of the writing that I enjoyed, but structurally, from a plot perspective, I was not enthused.
