The Love You Deserve

Men will literally get blind drunk and break up with their (much younger) girlfriends instead of going to therapy.

Okay, there's more to it than that, but ... this was fine? It's the fourth book in a series and several of the other couples from the earlier books show up, so I feel like I did miss out on a little bit, but it wasn't in a way that really interfered with my enjoyment of the book. I do sort of feel like any slow burn for this couple might have been more apparent in the earlier books. The plot was a little bit all over the place, with a crisis/issue/whatever arising, then being resolved, and something totally different coming up, without much real sense of an overarching theme/plot. I had kind of thought going in that this would be more about working to save the animal shelter, instead of yet another emotionally closed off MMC with unresolved daddy issues like something like 75% of them have, and honestly it's a little boring. Anyway, this was decent and I'll probably go back and read the rest of the series at some point, but glad it's on KU.
