The book was ok, made interesting  by the male character. I liked Will a lot - he is a person who is trying hard to handle his PTSD due to a car crash that killed three people a few years back. He has a horrible guilt and is trying to feel his emotions, not to feel numb, even goes off his meds for that reason. I enjoyed his honesty, his sense of humour, his psychological assessments of others. Now, on the other hand, Natalie is probably one of the most unlikable characters that wasn't supposed to be a bad guy. Yes, she is mediocre as she claims. She has a strong need to be validated by her parents, yet she is 26. She is shallow, very emotional, her feelings get hurt all the time. While having very little sense of humour, she takes herself very seriously, and when it comes to Will, she has no idea that sometimes you just have to be there for the other person, without thinking what you are going to get out of it. She tries to present herself as somebody who helps others and she does help them a few times but when it comes to emotional support, she has no idea, she only sees her own wounds. Her pity party is totally disgusting.So, a horrible heroine and a very interesting male character. Too many words, not a very exciting writing style but bearable. Not a book I would recommend.
