Guys, I just can't. I can't force myself to finish this book. Luc is insufferable, the side characters are one dimensional and uninteresting, and I can't in good conscience root for this relationship when Luc clearly needs to seek professional help for his problems, but no one suggests it and instead he and everyone think him starting a relationship will solve his problems. Sorry, but Oliver already has his own baggage, he doesn't need to be playing counselor and lover to someone who needs professional help. It looks like readers and I will never get away from the plague that is the "love cures all" trope.
Obviously, take my opinion with a grain of salt. Clearly I'm in the minority here, so give this a try if you want to. But this was not for me.
