Overall I enjoyed this book, though it's left me with mixed feelings. I read it to get more familiar with the genre/topic because my NaNoWriMo for 2017 is going to be along those lines.
One thing I can say without spoiling too much is that I really wish we had more of Dane's perspective. I get that this was from Bea's point of view but there are so many things that could be made so much better (or worse, depending) with more input from him. A lot is left up for the reader's interpretation which some may like more than others. By the end you could easily root for or turn your nose up at the relationship and neither side, in my opinion, really has ground to stand on since we know so little of one whole side. I'd also point out that things seemed to move slowly, barely at all, for almost half of the novel. To me it seemed sudden when things 'got going' so to speak. One thing I truly liked was how 'the interview' chapters were scattered about. That really had me curious and desperate to know how things ended, it was a great motivator!
I don't want to give spoilers in this review so I'm going to cut it here, apologies for the rambling nature.
