I thought the whole premise was a bit odd. Like I don’t want you but here have my friend? I also had a hard time liking any of the characters in this story. The FMC was so insecure and unsure of herself but I do think that reflects the years of emotional abuse she suffered. The MMC was okay. They meshed well together but it was a bit too insta love for me especially considering the whole bizarre being set up by his ex because they both wanted to explore things?
