I really enjoyed reading this book, the chemistry of the characters and even the build up of their relationship; I loved how you got the insight into the main leads backgrounds and how that interlinks with their decisions. 

However, this book did take me a really long time to finish. I feel like it didn't have to be that thick of a book, I had to take several breaks.
