I’m mixed on how I feel about the FMC. I liked Elle as a character in general. Her sense of hyper independence and absence of her father are things I could relate to, but in my old age, I’m now understanding the importance of letting others help you. I felt Parker was loving her so loudly and sure, he was a bit excessive in buying her everything, but he was also really focused on making her happy—something I don’t think Elle acknowledged very well before the 3rd act break up. She spent too much time projecting her feelings regarding her father onto Parker that I don’t think she really understood what Parker was attempting. 

At any rate, I’m glad she finally got over it and figured it out because my guy was down bad.
