Cameron Hawke is an interesting character. He’s has a hard life and when you look at him you see someone who was hardened by those experiences but as you get to know him you meet a man who is hurting and so desperate to be loved. Nic is everyone woman who had ever been in a relationship that looks healthy from the outside but isn’t. She thinks that because her partner is willing to pay her bills while she works on her dream that everything is hunky dory and never having an orgasm is acceptable. 

While I don’t particularly enjoy the cheating trope and I certainly don’t condone cheating I did find the book to be enjoyable and emotional. There were multiple occasions where I found myself crying along with the characters or texting my friends who recommended this book to me and asking them “what the fuck”
