This is marketed as a romance and while yes, it had romance aspects, I felt the relationship between the two main characters was very forced. We never saw Sammy’s POV, so he felt a little flat to me. Manny, while I enjoyed the plot line of her reconnecting with a part of herself she never had an opportunity to connect with, I did not get her “falling for” Sammy. They spent very little time together on page, and she spent most of her time interacting with other people who were telling her to get with Sammy. It just was hard for me as a reader to see why she developed feelings for him when they barely interacted on page. 
As a romance, this book felt very flat to me.
