The characters were still fairly shallow and the plot was all over the place with not much real resolution. 

The FMC was lacking a spine… so that wasn’t any good when it comes to being with a guy whose dad runs the Italian mafia in Chicago… she is a big celebrity with zero boss bitch charisma? The only thing driving her is her anger at her parents. It’s just not enough.

And the MMC had the personality of an almost dead fish. 

I think there wasn’t a sensitivity reader for this book. Big icks in that department.
