Not bad but not great. There is a ton of inner monologue. You spend more time in the MCs heads than they speak to each other or to others. It started to get a bit repetitive. I was dying for more interaction. Because it was so heavy with inner monologue it came off very “tell me not show me”. Writing wasn’t terrible but there were some word choices that gave me the ick - “slurp” really? And some of the love declarations came off as trying to be epic and deep but just didn’t make sense.
This book could have used some more humor. Between the emotional issues the MCs have individually, the emotional conflict with each other, and the slight intensity of the non romance plot, there needed more lighter moments. Zo carried the humor and there wasn’t enough of her to help.
