This book was long, and normally I don't mind but it was long for no reason. I felt like the plot could've been wrapped up around the 350 - 450 page mark and been rewarding. There was the same issue several times in the book 
that he slept around with a lot of people and the FMC was afraid he would do the same to her 
  like it was the overarching 'difficulty' that the protagonists had to overcome and they did.

The 
  nude picture plot was unnecessary - it only extended the book and didn't really do anything for the plot 
except maybe highlighting that there still wasn't that level of trust between the two MCs, especially when one was always running away? in a way instead of just communicating the issue to the other, we could've saved 30 pages on that plot alone. 

Other issues were that the guy could not take no for an answer, and personally, I don't find that appealing. I get that he had to chase for the plot and that it's a romance trope but it is a problem. Also, why was the MMC so childish. At one point the FMC was like I'm not like the other girls he's been with I'm different... (I want a long-term relationship) I mean the FMC did say she wasn't doing the 'not like other girls' thing but really... as if the girl at the beginning didn't want something more with the MMC.

Despite the issues I had, I was rooting for them and it was a good romance read.
