I actually think 3 stars is generous of me. Her sister’s death doesn’t get really delved into even a little bit until chapter 22, yet this is the whole reason these two think they can’t or shouldn’t be together (this is not a spoiler - comes up almost immediately). There’s never an acknowledgement that there’s also the matter of workplace sexual harassment (he works for her!!!). The book would’ve been better if it dealt with her relationship with her sister and parents more instead of minimally in the last few chapters. Also needed to address Grant’s psyche more instead of just surface cover.
