Half way in and the characters still haven't grabbed my attention. They like each other but don't want to get together. For reasons. Something to do with something that happened in her past. Flashes of sentence fragments suggests a toxic relationship.

Not enough of a carrot to make me want to continue.

I stopped reading when Sam and Len were making a comparison between Bowie and Morrissey. I realized I was never going to like these people.

Why is this story set in 1986 anyway? To name drop films and song titles, but that only works if the audience knows those films and songs. I'm taking a wild stab in the dark here, but I think half the target audience doesn't know the songs.

Rating rounded up because I liked the cover.

I received an ARC through NetGalley.
