I had high hopes for this book from the start, but around 50% or 60% it started to drag for me. To clear things up, there is no mystery or outside story involving serial killers. I was somewhat disappointed in that since the storyline was left to be an emotional journey for Phoebe. But I'd have to argue one in which we are not given much growth or emotion. I really liked both Sam and Phoebe, I just felt the single sided POV and the lack of on page depth was a hinderance in actually learning about our MCs and moving the story along. Phoebe was good at internal pondering, but I felt cheated of her actual emotional growth and everything with the relationship was quickly put at the end and just sorta...decided upon. There were some bright moments of humor, but not enough to classify this as a rom com for me. I wanted it to stretch out more and last past the one liners.

Unfortunately, this book goes in the aggressively fine category for a romance.
