I picked this one up to complete the last Kindle Ribbon challenge. But it was also one of those books that I had on my radar and wanted to get to at some point; it wasn't at the top of my radar. I'm glad that I read it. It's one of the books I've been thinking about buying. But I didn't love it as much as I wanted to. It was too slow burn for me, and I wanted more drama. Honestly, this one should've had more drama; her ex dumped her after almost 10 years together. They were engaged, and when we learned what went wrong, I was glad she got out and wasn't pining over him. Still, he's an egotistical person who assumes everything is about him. Hence, I feel like that mindset would've caused issues. Plus, I kept waiting for something to be revealed from their past, as Oliver tampered with their relationship since he was Julian's roommate. He started dating Dahlia after Julian was gone. I just kept wanting him to have sabotaged that relationship somehow. I just wanted him to be the big villain of our story. Oliver was just lackluster in the end. But it wasn't a terrible book, and I still enjoyed it, especially the first half. I just wanted a little more from the second half. It was a good start for a new series, mainly if the rest follows Dahlia and Julian's family.
