I'm not sure if it's just me or not, but I didn't feel connected to any of the characters in the story, unfortunately—something that usually comes quite easily to me. It's definitely not the content itself, because several characters have rather interesting elements: between Julia and the ex-convict, Michelle and her panic attacks, and Olivia with a father who's slowly dying, I’d say we can rule that out.
So it's either the writing that didn’t click for me, or maybe it's the protagonist who pulled me out of the narrative (he's not mr. interesting, being basically a gray man without ambitions, dreams, or real struggles in life aside from having dealt with and moved past being left by his ex since chapter 1—it would’ve been more interesting if Zeke had been the protagonist, tbh).
Maybe it’s a mix of both, with a sprinkle of unconvincing interest from the girls (except for Julia and Michelle, who are the exception to the rule, imo).
P.S.: Aiden was way more handsome with his hair long
