The book is a comm. issue that'd be solved in five minutes. Both characters needed some gumption well before the 80% mark. The last 5% of the book felt very much like “well, I‘ve wasted 95% of the book with slow pacing and a bunch of filler, time to quickly wrap up the loose ends”. Hallmark writes better love stories. Save yourself ten hours of listening and go watch a Hallmark movie. You‘ll have more fun and you‘ll be done in 10% of the time.
