Very much enjoyed this story and yes there were times where I wish Madison would STFU about her insecuries and her hell bent need for control. I loved that her and Rick both have a no BS rule with each other, they can "real talk" to each other bc they dont need the sugar coating of words. Rick evolves into the one thing he never thought he would become, someone that wanted to love another, and that person being the most difficult person in the world to deal with...Madison Stewart. Madison is a very strong femal character though I wish her fighting every issue was not on every single thing. I understand that this is her chracter, that something had happened in her past that made her a hardcore person to deal with, but Rick is there to break thoughs walls and cold feelings. Basically Rick is there to be her anchor and she wants it but doesnt bc she finds it a sence of weekness, in a way it's not. We sometimes need that anchor to stay grounded and focused, we all need a support system and I was happy to see that Ricks character has become that. He's never giving up on her, as much as he hates fighting everythng with her, he knows he has to bc she has to understand she doesnt have to fight every battle and not just with him. When you are used to being alone and dealing with a screwed up family and the corporate world, you become hardend and in a way, less human.Could've some of the banter been less crazy or over the top? Maybe, BUT when someone has had an upbringing like Madison, you expect her to have "issues" and I agree with Rick, home girl needs to talk to a professional. The way she's thinking about everything in her life, the guilt, the barrying of the past, is not healthy. Other than the good and crazy/bas banter/argueing, the story is great. You get to dive deeper into these characters and get to know them. Rick becomes a stronger male character and very redeemable also and he is someone Madison needs in her life to show her that she can be happy and rely on someone to be her protector, lover, and supporter...she just has to learn to let go.
