I found this book to be wayyy overhyped. I honestly didn't like it very much, which is saying something because I am usually a sucker for any type of friends to lovers trope. I found the romance to lack believability, especially once we learn the context of how long lasting Shep's feelings were. The premise of this sounded so fun and it started out that way, and then just went a little sideways. I felt disconnected from the characters, nobody directly communicated how they were feeling until the very end, and everything tied together with the most perfect bow that I found it a little unbelievable. I know many enjoyed this a lot, but it wasn't for me.
