This book was a sweet story and easy read that I finished in a day and a half, but it was not for me.
The characters didn’t have much depth to them to where it was hard to care about anyone. I wish that there was more backstory and/or flashbacks to a younger Murphy and Kat. I also feel
like more time spent on how Kat got distant during college with a new boyfriend could’ve helped. I also think that more insight into the parents would’ve made them seem less like assholes who didn’t care about their daughter.
Murphy and Ellie’s relationship felt bland and lacked any real connection. I was honestly way more invested in Murphy’s plans for the future and Sip than the relationship. I think this book really could’ve benefitted from a dual POV of Murphy and Ellie to add more to the overall relationship and chemistry.
I did like the dynamic between Murphy and Kara/Professor Meyers. Honestly that was my favorite relationship in this book as she seemed to be the only person who cared to see Murphy succeed.
Despite the lack of depth to these characters, they were still pretty relatable. I think we have all had a Kat and Daniel couple in our lives (and maybe even been them, oops!)
