the first part of the book before the cheating trope was entertaining. i was rooting for the couple because i’m a sucker for enemies to lovers and second chance romances.
however, after the cheating incident, the story went downhill. kennedy ryan should have had made the second chance romance better without the cheating trope.
not only that, but the character development was threw out of the window until the last few chapters of the book. banner’s character was very relatable, but i do not tolerate her actions with her former boyfriend. on the other hand, i did not like jared at all. he is your typical egotistical athlete who doesn’t care about anything. oftentimes, he gets into my nerves, especially that he does not communicate properly. he always jumps into conclusions and that frustrated me so bad.
