I liked the characters, and I felt like the book overall had a good amount of tension. It never really got slow enought to be boring, but it wasn't too much either. The story itself wasn't THAT exciting to me; but I liked how it was written, the thoughts, problems and trauma of the main character. And I'm a sucker for the tropes - forced proximity, shared bed, shared thoughts (the last one might not be a "real" trope, but I like it a lot!).
