3.0
It would be a 4 star if it weren't for a few things:
1. the brushing off of a potential r*pe; for context, the FMC gets so drunk that she doesn't remember wether she had s*x or not, while the man wasn't drunk at all. And it's basically brushed off the whole story, up until the end. Plus, there was some objectification of women, that was even pointed out, that I didn't enjoy.
2. the lack of communication was annoying; he decides to be a player and have all these women constantly while waiting for her to want to be with him. But.... why would she want that.... when you're constantly with other women??
3. I was expecting a bigger connection between the main characters, the week they had together was the only time I felt like they had something special. But, I don't think it was that explored on this book.
However, the storyline was interesting and I was always curious about how they would make things work. The characters were sweet, and loveable; and it spoke of important topics that I found myself getting invested in.
