this book was definitely too long imo. i loved damon and winter's characters and i think they were well written but a lot of the content felt like filler to me (especially with the flashbacks they felt a little repetitive and redundant) so it felt like a drag getting through the middle of the book. the last chunk definitely kept my attention well but i don't know if it's enough for me to rate the book higher,  since the book is so SO long. i don't think i would've minded the length much if there was more development in the present and i think the constant flashbacks worked against this story since i felt like i never got a chance to root for their relationship outside of their flashbacks. when i finished the book, i wasn't really sure why they liked each other (enough to warrant this being a romance novel) during the time the book was actually set but i found their individual characters lovable and interesting enough to root for them anyway, so i'd say it was a success overall!
