This is a story about numerous missed connections. Like all of them. All that could ever be. For like, the first half of the novel anyways. And that first half was golden. I was about 1/3 of the way through and officially emerged with full on throat throttling motions mode, so yeah, I was emotionally invested at that point. The ending felt rushed though which was rather unfortunate.

I enjoyed the second chance romance vibes from this for the most part. But what I really wanted was for a slightly slower paced story with a lot more character analysis. I wanted to crawl inside the minds of the characters and ruminate on their actions as they happened. I wanted the romance aspect to be lengthened and more fully explored. Not in a smut kinda way (although I would not have opposed), but rather in a more drawn out, almost growing affections kind of way.

Basically, what I wanted was for this not be a novella, but here we are.
