I thought this book was okay. It suffered from a common problem multiple pov books often have - the fact that there’s always at least one POV character that I care less about. Reading their chapters just becomes an unwelcome interruption to the story I actually care about. Also let’s be honest. The book did not have to be that long. Just break it up into two books if necessary. Or take out one of the pov characters. 

Pros: I honestly liked the romance, the slow burn was nice
