So many eye roll moments.
So many WTF did she / he just say / do moments.
So many I'm sorry, you're HOW old moments.
So many sure...riiiiiight moments.
It was still a cute-ish story with an interestingly unbelievable plot line, and, as I admitted, laugh out loud funny at times, although I don't think that was the author's intent. It was enjoyable enough in a totally-not-what-I-would've-chosen-to-read kind of way.
Moderate: Suicide and Fire/Fire injury
Minor: Sexual assault

I think Ben is a horrible main male character. He is disgusting and does not deserve to get a good ending. Fallon is also so bland. Understandably these are young characters but they have only known each other a maximum of 36 hours. Yet they love each other?? They’re getting married?!?!?
The idea of the book is great but it feels like the characters never got to know each other even when they saw each other. I also heard there originally was a SA scene?? And I got the vibes still during the club scene where Fallon says something like “he’s using this to his advantage” knowing she’s drunk and they’re alone. She’s written as she likes it but has these little thoughts of hating it and wanting it to stop. And I don’t believe the whole reading the manuscript just makes her forgive him so quickly.

I wanted to give this book the benefit of the doubt and read it for myself, but I had a feeling going into it that I wasn't going to like this after reading other reviews, and after reading the book for myself, boy was I correct.
I had many issues with this book, most of which have been outlined in a detailed review by Whitney Atkinson. A lot of it is Ben's behavior, which is not acceptable in any way, shape, or form.

Moderate: Sexual harassment
Minor: Sexual assault
The sexual harassment/assault is portrayed as romantic and the main character doesn’t see it as assault however the language used is still very upsetting and possibly triggering. Basically consent isn’t given and the character mentions being uncomfortable and unable to move but she ends up being fine with it. The suicide is a minor character and is mentioned in flashbacks but could also be upsetting.
