Romance is such a divisive genre. I have bookish friends I've known for years who ~always~ remind me they don't like romance when I mention that I'm reading one. (I'm always like, “chill, I'm not foisting this book on you”
Up to about 80%, I disliked this book. The heroine was a judgmental mess who took advantage of other people and the hero had next to no personality. The heroine's ex was admittedly an ass but the way she treated him was not commendable.
However, it was nice to see the characters grow and become better. I feel like this would have been a stronger book if we had seen the characters grow throughout the book, as opposed to packing all the character development in the last 20% of the book. By then, I had spent most of the book disliking the characters and being disinterested in their romance.
Since this is a debut book, I hope that Trinh manages to iron out these issues in her later books.
