Some of the reviews mention how slow this story feels to them. I get it, and in a few sections, I even agree. But I also feel this is one of the more realistic friends-to-lovers stories. This trope is quite difficult to pull off but Bay does it in a way that makes both characters' behavior completely believable. Not to mention the sex scenes were pretty hot. It was a great balance of sexy and sweet.
