This book was kinda frustrating. Which made the resolution all the more satisfying. I can't rate this book higher because I found a lot of the characters unlikeable, especially Quinn. I hardly ever dislike the leading lady in romance books, but wow, she was a pain in the ass. I understand she has trauma and mental illnesses (I do too) but that never excuses her poor behavior. She does make up for it in the end, but I had a hard time rooting for her when I was so frustrated with her. I will commend the author for making it very realistic. People like Quinn exist in real life. People that don't communicate, that separate themselves from love because of one fear or another. And this book really talks a lot about those aspects. The thing is, I read romance books to have hope about love. This one made me despair. Yes, the characters end up together, but it was like pulling teeth to get there. I go into romance books wanting a short, fun, and lighthearted experience, not something that frustrates me. I am very aware that real life is not like that, but here's a secret, that is why I read these books because I hate real life and I read to escape it.

Anyway, long rant. I did like some aspects of this book, but for the most part...I did not enjoy it. I was not the target audience for this book.
