Things I liked:
• The parallels between the past relationship and the current relationship.
• The structure of how the past relationship is set out in the chapters.
• I actually liked the development of the past relationship more than the current relationship.
Things I didn’t like:
• The main lead and love interest spent no time together aside from sex before deciding that they loved each other.
• Neither character was really special, I felt like I had read the character a million times.
• Love interest treated the main lead like shit and was forgiven completely in the end just because of his revealed back story.
• I’m sick of books using “tortured tragic male with horrifying backstory” as a main leading plot device.
