I like Stewart’s sense of humor, and certain characters she writes allow that cheeky side to shine. Lainey is so easy to like and listen to. Theo’s character is a good example of both wunderkind boyfriend and beta-male toxicity. I know there must be an obstacle that keeps the lovers apart, but I balked at this one. I get it; it’s realistic, too. But I also hate the ultimate outcome.
If I can’t read romance for the escape, I’m not going to read them. There is much to admire here, but I wish I would have skipped this one. A lack of trust is a lack of trust. Boooooooo.
