I really wanted to love this book. Like I really did, Kal's book was the one I was the most excited for and I thought for sure it would be my favourite. Unfortunately it wasn't. I felt like you found out so many things right at the beginning that made it feel like there was no real reason to keep reading. Like with most second chance romances finding out why the couple broke up in the past is a key part of the plot whereas in this one we found out their history right away. Same with Hannah's history with her ex. Like we knew it all in the first 50 or so pages so I didn't feel like I needed to keep reading because I could see where we were going. I predicted the third act conflict but in my head it was so much more fleshed out. I feel like so much happened in this book and yet at the same time nothing happened. Everything that happened happened so fast that it didn't feel like a fully formed idea. Which is why so much happened but each event took only a few pages so I felt like I was missing out. I'm realizing now that this author probably isn't for me but I did enjoy this series a fair bit overall.
