There was a ton of family drama in this book. I was mostly here for it? I'm a little iffy on the estranged father's redemption arc but I think it was mostly portrayed realistically, if not in a more fulfilling manner.
It's kind of weird that it wasn't weird that the FMC's estranged father's was more a father to the MMC than he'd ever been to FMC? IDK like I feel like there should've been some more drama there but I guess the characters were being mature about it.
The pacing at the end felt rushed.
🌶️ 3/5 The chemistry between the MCs was good and there weren't a ton of steamy scenes but the ones we get are pretty 🔥 vanilla.
🎧 The narrators (dual POV) both did a good job.
