Granted, I initially struggled with the two MCs. Now, when I started reading, based on this scene, I expected a particular type of story, but I got so much more unexpected.

When Reece meets Fisher, he's just gotten out of the shower and is wearing only a towel that he has no qualms with lowering to near indecent levels around her. Fisher will be watching out for Reece while her mother is away. Reece is raised with religious and moral beliefs. She's sheltered by her grandparents, who she lived with after her father died and her mother went to prison. If you can get through the first 60% of the book… I’d say just see it through to the end and maybe pick up the second book to see how everything wraps up. Needless to say, I was intrigued enough to keep going and I’m currently paused in the middle of a chapter of the next book as I write this review. I didn’t really like the journey… but I liked the overall storyline the characters, the gray areas that demand further “book club” discussions, and the cliffhanger that encourages you to see the storyline completely through. And it should be noted that the last few chapters made up for all of it. I didn’t mind the age gap, but the naivety of Reese’s age (sorry Reese) definitely played into the cringy dialogue and inner thoughts. I will not lie… this was a VERY cringy book and at times made me want to throw it across the room. I don’t know it it was because I know some very unprepared women like this or if it was just second hand embarrassment but this book pulled out all kinds of emotions that I’ve re-written several reviews and each time end up with more understanding of the major points the author wanted to convey.
