Came from another Abby Jimenez book, thinking this was gonna be another one seater but unfortunately this one did not do it for me.
Kristen’s character was so frustrating. I get that she had her qualms about being in a relationship with Josh but I hated the push and pull she did with him. I think the relationship development would have been a lot sweeter if they had pined silently and then got together in the end, instead of on and off being together.
Even the conflict resolution was kind of obvious to me from the beginning, so I was confused why Kristen didn’t just accept it from the get-go.
Overall, not my fave.
