Review: Surprised a woman could write such a terrible male character as a hero.

I really wasn't a fan of this one. We've all read the best friends to lovers trope before but it's been done so much better elsewhere. One of my biggest complaints is the "hero", Lucas. He was a caveman and I pretty much hated him. After Lindy asks him to help clean up the apartment every once in a while he literally says, "I got a dick. I don't clean." When reflecting on why he hooked up with his ex, Kelsey, Lucas comes to the conclusion, "Enough alcohol and any bitch will do." Real charmer we've got here. Not to mention what Lucas did to humiliate Lindy all those years ago and he barely apologizes with the excuse that he was young and worried about what his friends would say.I also wasn't a fan of Lindy. She came across as a doormat who did whatever everyone else said. She didn't even argue when her best friend/roommate's dad and Lucas' dad tell her that Lucas is moving in with them. Hello if I am a 22-year-old woman paying my own rent, I'm not letting someone else tell me who will be living with me. And the "mirror man" storyline was beyond predictable and wrapped up in such a hurry at the end. I'm honestly surprised at myself for even finishing this book and couldn't in good conscience recommend it to friends.
