Bishop is an Ex Con, who can’t read, and is trying to get his life back on track after 5 years in jail. 
 
Edison is a young executive who is lonely, he struggles with managing his insecurities, desire for connections and his position. 
 
I LOVE that Bishop finds out that Edison has never had sex and PUMPS the breaks but makes it VERY clear he intends to make Edison his. Also I adore that Edison finds Bishops quirks (talking on the phone instead of texting) ultra romantic. 
Me too bestie. 

I felt a little flummoxed by the pace. At times the pace feel good, some times it felt a little on the slow side (which isn't bad) and then there were moment's where it felt lightning fast. Edison had never been in a relationship before and it kind of has the first love "NO ONE HAS FELT THIS WAY BEFORE" vibes. 

It’s hard to forgive Edison for naming Robert Galbraith as an author he likes 🤢🤢🤢. I’m willing to give the author the benefit of the doubt as JKR didn’t officially out herself as trash until after this book was published.
