Mature characters
I really liked the story and I liked the characters. Sophie was an independent, smart and strong woman, she was a great example of a hard working female lead. Isaac was the same way. They literally talk about how similar they are. I loved that he fell first, he was open to a relationship from the beginning and didn't mind waiting for Sophie.
My only problem was that the love story wasn't well developed. I swear we got to 80% of the book and she was still hang up on her ex. Well, that may not be totally true, she wasn't hang up on her ex but rather still hurt from his actions. However, the ex was mentioned so many times that he felt like the third person in the room. That didn't leave much space for the romance to flourish so I didn't really feel the connection and chemestry between the two main leads. I only felt it at the end and that almost had me giving the book 4 stars, but I just couldn't ignore the rest.
I wish the story was less focused on how her ex was an idiot and more on how she opened her heart to Isaac. Because she tried, but the other stuff was still there.
Overall this is a 3.5 read for me because the story wasn't as exciting or romantic as I was expecting it to be. I absolutely adore Olivia's writing and will keep reading her books because she's awesome and she creates characters that actually go to teraphy (or at least mention going to) and there isn't usually a huge miscommunication problem between her characters.
I read some people mention how pragmatic and cold their relationship was, and though I agree with the later, I think I actually liked the pragmatic part. We should normalize having an open communication with your partner, protecting yourself legally and morally, and actually listening to your partner's needs, desires and hopes for the future.
