The beginning is great, sort of enemies to lovers, interesting characters, interesting back stories.
But then both main characters started being dislikeable. I know the point probably was to emphasise their flaws but the extent of their behaviour was not relatable to me and not even the end of the book could compensate that.
Spoilers:
Also, a thing I really disliked about Ruby was that she didn't respect boundaries and just tried to kiss and make out with Morgan whenever she felt like it and whenever they had a difficult talk. And her thoughts would be something like "why do I need to tell her I like her if I can show it to her by kissing her?". Excuse me but if somebody is crying because you hurt them you don't try to kiss them in that moment wtf. She also tried to push Morgan to have sex more than once even though Morgan wanted to wait. For her, sex didn't mean much but she didn't even try to understand that that was not the same for Morgan.
I did feel bad for her because of her horrible mother.
Anyways, I really liked the characters and the story in the beginning, but the closer they got, the worse they became. I get that J. Dugan was trying to show their flaws and how they overcame their issues together, but it just made the characters walking red flags in many ways.
