Not bad but I felt like this was a combination of It Ends With Us and Reminders of Him. Too many similarities and the ending was very abrupt. Lots of build up and then bam, problems all resolved and a happy ending that just seemed too good to be true/too far-fetched. Not a bad story, just not my favorite.
