Honestly it was really hard for me to push through this book because of the actions of the characters. Always love KR’s writing but damn I’ve never wanted to punch so many characters in the face.

cheating is a big part of this book and the plot. I don’t like cheating and can’t stand it but it is a major thing for the plot

I knew going into this book how this couple gets together and that helped me because I would have DNFd it otherwise. I also went in knowing about fat shaming and diet culture being a big part of pieces in this book. 

I struggled with Jared, he was possessive which is fine but it was borderline just obsession and I didn’t get outside of the sex where he really connected at first. I think by the end I saw it but I wish there had been some more relationship build.

the first part of the book before the cheating trope was entertaining. i was rooting for the couple because i’m a sucker for enemies to lovers and second chance romances.

however, after the cheating incident, the story went downhill. kennedy ryan should have had made the second chance romance better without the cheating trope.

not only that, but the character development was threw out of the window until the last few chapters of the book. banner’s character was very relatable, but i do not tolerate her actions with her former boyfriend. on the other hand, i did not like jared at all. he is your typical egotistical athlete who doesn’t care about anything. oftentimes, he gets into my nerves, especially that he does not communicate properly. he always jumps into conclusions and that frustrated me so bad.
