I think this suffered from too many characters and not enough exploration. I didn't really connect with any of the characters. Jon was the one I felt anything for and he got his happy ending so I'm kind of 'meh' about the others. The main couple I didn't like at all. There was no chemistry and it didn't feel like a real relationship had formed. Erik abused his position of power and he seemed almost obsessed with Angel, and Angel came across as a classic case of transference rather than a man falling in love. And I didn't give a crap about Marshall.(And tbh, Erik came across as really skeevy and by the end, was making my skin crawl.)Putting aside the 'romance' plot, this book gets a lot better. The agony of addiction and recovery was written thoughtfully and Chris' story broke my heart.
