Conflicted about this one. I like the premise but the book was about 150 pages too long. Could've been tightened up a lot more. It took a very long time for the characters to even start to grow on me, they felt very trope-y at times. And the constant pity parties in the two leads got very annoying. The ending felt really rushed and I think ultimately this lacked depth for me, and there was too much telling and not enough doing. I will read the sequel at some point but it's not something I feel eager to dive into right away.
