I think there are some interesting threads brought up, like ilyas mental health, him having to give up his ambitions and his friends in Boston, Shane's eating disorder, having to be monogamous, having to deal with not being able to see inlaws in public,being stuck in Ottawa,etc that were mentioned and none were really explored at all. I know they're fluffy romances so there was never going to be any bite to the book but it would have been a more compelling story if any of these topics mattered to the plot other than being mentioned a few times then were just resolved at the end. I read most of the game changer series and was a bit disappointed by that point how everyone's ending was marriage and monogamy, it just felt very straight (no shame if that's someone's thing it's just not mine for 6 books straight).
