I don’t know how I feel about this one. The second half was definitely better than the first. Melody grew on me and was dorky and funny in an adorable way. 

I wish they were slightly younger because their words and actions sound more like mid-twenty year olds than thirty year olds
and I wish they would talked occasionally even if it was once a year or something after they first met because it would’ve helped curb the insta list. I did feel like the elevator sex scene was ill-timed and diminished the conversation they were having
the blackmailer reveal and Beat’s kink reveal weren’t handled well. It felt like the bomb was dropped mid-sentence and we moved on like nothing. 

I liked the little things they did for each other showing how obviously in love they were it was adorable. I loved how Melody stood up to her mom. I also love that the story was really about Beat and Melody and their parents were the background
