Our FMC is a figure skater with some pretty serious perfectionism struggles. it was AMAZING Looking forward to the next one.This was fricken amazing. Cannot understand why more people haven't read this. Overall I finished the book feeling good rather than wrung out from the drama and grief. as a couple that worked as a team and heaving each other’s back. It addressed some ugly issues in a really strong and positive way and showed two main characters (who were mature and NOT the problem) dealing with the issues as a real couple would normally build a life i.e. This took a very different approach to the problems and created a more positive vibe and perspective eve. Many books seem to need to create one of the key characters as a protagonist to get through the narrative or build a story. The overall character development lacked unnecessary grief and antagonism.

The MMC was a lot more rounded than most of the stories and the fact that he kept a mature perspective but in some cases but was more reactionary (but not every situation needed to be a drama) was well balanced and more in keeping with the characters. Her internal dialogue helped the reader keep a balanced perspective. She was strong and true to herself the way we would all want our daughters to be.

I liked that the FMC was a strong lead character, rather than a paper-tiger that looked good until a strong breeze. It made the characters feel more genuine. I liked the way it was a gradual story rather than a series of constructed situations. It opens with a FMC who doesn’t believe in two people being together their whole lives and takes you on their journey and transformation.

it is an essential part of the journey and character development later in the book. There is a good deal of spice / sex / steam and the opening chapters that may make some readers a little uncomfortable but perseverance pays off …. It dealt with difficult issues in a positive and constructive and healthy way. The story was really good and avoided bogging down. No spoilers below but there is some explanation to assist the reader. It takes the reader on a different journey to the normal enemies to lovers trope. and I don’t feel the need to write reviews. One of my best audiobooks in recent times
