Ugh I was so excited to read this book and it ended up being so disappointing!!
Why would you write a strong, independent female character who swears off men, only to have her meet one boring guy and give him FIVE chances that he doesn't deserve? I can't forgive all the bullshit Tate pulled and it makes me actively not root for the two of them. I was hoping the story really would end with her finding herself and letting him go, but whatever.
It just felt a little sloppy and unorganized, and I don't know how much of that comes from having two authors? If they had gotten together and only had ONE fight/breakup, then it would have been a much more enjoyable read. But I really can't get behind this guy emotionally manipulating Charlotte over and over again, and then just forgiving him and calling it "romance."
In conclusion: men ain't shit. Even fictional ones.
