This was overly angsty, the main characters weren’t particularly likable, and all the emotions felt forced on the reader. There was no chemistry between characters and insta-love instead. I finished it because Saskia Maarleveld narrated and my next Libby book wasn’t available yet, but I kind of missed the point of this? It wasn’t awful, I just didn’t enjoy it very much.
