Okay... so... the first like 70% of this book was... not good. sorry. But so much of it was just sex and the story wasn't progressing at all, we weren't learning anything about Miles' character and I was more interested in the Rachel storyline than the Tate one. I really really hated Miles throughout most of this book. He had no respect for Tate, he was rude asf, and he literally sexual abused her multiple times??? I didn't feel the chemistry between them, their dynamic was fucking strange. Did I cry for an hour straight reading this book? Yes, I did. Did I internally scream when Rachel revealed the name of her daughter? Yes, I did. Loved the ending but I can't get over Miles' character in the beginning bc it was incredibly strange and gross and misogynistic and IK ITS BC HE HAS TRAUMA but I can't get over it - he had no respect for Tate and I constantly felt like he was exploiting her for sex? bc he was. However, I gave it 4.25 stars bc I really liked the ending and Miles getting his closure. Okay.
xoxo, gossip girl.

We have Miles, a manchild who, rather than seeking out therapy, uses his trauma as an excuse to justify the shitty things he does and says to Tate, all because he is so horny for Tate he can't stop himself. And his massive obsession with Rachael that had him apparently so blindly in love he couldn't afford to keep his eyes off her for two seconds to look at the road and ensure they get to their destination in one piece.
I wanted to like Tate so, SO much. Her attitude at the beginning had me rooting for her to be a badass, independent woman who knows her worth. But no. She is so devoid of pride and self respect that she allows this man she barely knows (who just happens to be her brother's friend) to completely consume her mind, use her body, lead her on, and completely walk all over her at every chance possible. Cause of....what, his dick game too damn strong?? Nah, man.
She also so readily forgives him - especially when they were fucking and he calls Rachel's name??? Lort, she's such a simp, I swear, and it's pathetic.
And let's talk about how this was supposed to be TatexMiles (based on the summary I read prior anyway) but we really only read about how she falls for Miles and is willingly putting her mental health on the line to act as his cushion for his emotional baggage. Meanwhile every other chapter is high school Miles being a complete simp for Rachel the way Tate is toward him. It really makes it hard to believe he truly loves Tate. Maybe he does, but not on the level he's convinced himself he does. And definitely not as much as Tate loves him.
So truly, Tate is dumb (but I guess she's happy so cool), Miles needs fucking professional help (Tate "loving you back to life" isn't therapy, fam) and the only likeable people in this story are Corbin and Cap. Period.
