Some have said that this book is often described as "slow burn" but I read through it within a week. I think its more accurate to describe the romantic relationship between FMC and MMC as slow burn. If anyone feels like they "just can't get into it" try reading the physical book and if you aren't enticed by page ~115 then maybe it's a DNF for ya and that's okay! 
I'm very satisfied with the way the book unfolded and how it ended! Some twists I didn't see coming. 
I loved every moment of pomegranates and orange groves ❤️❤️
