I really wanted to love this book based on the hype surrounding it but I didn’t. It was a struggle to get through. There’s a lot of sex scenes that seemed overly descriptive for the sake of word count. A lot of repetitiveness about the characters looks and not enough character development. The main characters have a relatable story but it was just a lackluster read. The author visited some serious topics like grief, child loss, divorce but didn’t really get into the nitty gritty of it like I hoped. I’m used to reading books where I know the ending but the characters didn’t make me feel for them like I love doing when reading. I wasn’t invested in them. It took me forever to finish but I kept going hoping it would get better but for me, it didn’t.
