This book started out strong for me. I loved the writing and the fake relationship trope seemed like it was going well. Then, I really got to know the characters. Grey was likable, but she had some big personality swings a couple of times that felt like they came out of nowhere. Ethan was an alcoholic and no one close to him seemed to acknowledge it. His abuse of alcohol really brought my enjoyment of this book down. Ethan's problems were so frustrating with all the support he should have had around him. I also felt like this book dragged on way longer than it should have. That being said, I did feel pulled to the story and enjoyed the narrators.
