I went into this expecting more. It came up as being the first story, but this was actually published 3 years after Lose Me, which I think is from Ari's perspective? I don't know. 

Spelling mistakes occasionally.

The MMC was annoying. He was wordy, but not in a good way. There was a lot of exposition thrown at me in the first chapter or two. I didn't know the MMC name until page 31.

"I'm going crazy here. Have dinner with me". - mental. He just seemed a bit obsessed over this 

Guy saves pretty girl from dying and has a 1/4 life crisis... I don't really understand his motivation. He nearly kills her a second time within like a week of knowing her. 

The FMC, Ari, keeps falling or fainting or whatever. Surely she couldn't become a stunt woman if she kept getting ill all the time idk. 

I feel like the author is trying to do some extra here, throwing in quotes like "There's so much pain behind your eyes". And " ". The dialogue doesn't really feel fleshed out and realistic. Kinda seems like they had a good general idea and plot points and couldn't then work out how to connect them all well.
