It’s a very slow burn romance and there is a cheating trope involved. It doesn’t really stand the test of time is what I think the problem was. It’s very 2000s. The book almost feels like it’s written by a man? The woman is like weirdly virginal and keeps making all these horrible mistakes and you can’t really connect with her. Therefore it’s hard to really get into the trope of cheating. It just really makes the whole romance seem icky and you’re not even rooting for them in the end which is the whole point so I cannot recommend. There’s better smut out there for sure that’s not 500 pages long 😬
