This is the best first-person dual POV contemporary romance I’ve ever read. The characters are so real and their POVs are so distinct and full of voice and heart. Worth reading even if you’re put off by the “he bullied her” background- I usually hate bully romances but this one worked fantastically because you really deeply understand and empathize with the characters, even when they’ve messed up. 

My only critique is I would have liked a bit more “talking it out” at the end.

Excellent novella with older MCs (both over 35) and class difference.  Lovely!
