I like that the book is comparable to others in this genre. In that respect it was what I expected and was an enjoyable read. I was put off by how unrealistically the main characters deal with the aftermath of their respective traumas. They act as if once the immediate trauma is over then all is right in the world and life moves on normally. This is so not how reality works. However, to have the characters deal with their issues realistically the book would need to be twice as long and the romance aspect of the story would have shrunk down to a subplot.
