I loved this couple together and the realness of the story. It was heavy in some parts and a bit insta lovey as other reviews say but not in a horrible way. I feel like it’s rare to see a heavy focus on male main characters in romance books so I enjoyed seeing Xavier’s story and his background with abuse. I also loved the side characters and the family dynamic of Samantha’s side.  I wish they stopped their long distance struggle sooner tho, would’ve loved more happy dates.
