I just finished this book and I do not get the hype. Both characters were irritating to the extreme. The casual racism at the Tex-Mex restaurant, the lack of chemistry between the main characters, and the unconscionable actions of Dexter on multiple occasions, leave me perplexed. What is it that people love about the book?
The sudden death wasn’t anything special either and people treat it like it was very novel when it’s practically a trope in romance. Think Sliding Doors, Fault in Our Stars, Me Before You. It was apparently also poorly researched in regards to Edinburgh and full of inaccuracies.
There was not one likeable character in my opinion. Even Dexter’s mom who is basically a matyr is very passive aggressive.
As Dennis Reynolds says, “This isn’t will they or won’t they? This I know they won’t, and I don’t want them to.”
