I initially picked this up when I learned of the project with Meghann Fahy and Penn Badgley, and I truly believe that I would have not powered through it if not for that.
While this was a sweet second-chance romance, it had me defending a Man™ of the assumptions of our main character.

Naomi Westfield is so consumed by bitterness, that all she does is assume her fiancé, Nicholas Rose, is as bitter as she is. And while he was not a perfect guy, he at least tried to keep somewhat of a relationship going.
