I also got the feeling it was a spinoff from another series, that was referenced just enough to annoy me, so I might go back to that and see how I feel about it....more

It's possible I'll come back to it eventually, but honestly, the third book basically ruined the series for me and I just don't have the patience for these characters. This is the one that has been built up since the beginning, but nothing has compared to the first two books....more

Like the writing style makes it hard to keep track of the POV, the passage of time isn't making any sense, and it doesn't even feel like a second chance romance. I also tried to figure out if this was some kind of spin-off of another book by these authors, but I don't have the energy to keep reading when it feels like I'm missing something important. So I can see the potential in this, but I'm not being given any indication that I'm going to like how it turns out....more

I might have gotten through it if I hadn't just read another disappointing friends-to-lovers romance, but I don't have the patience for it.
