I couldn't get past the writing, it didn't seem like it was edited at all. The writing style felt choppy. There really isn't anything to look forward to and I don't feel like continuing until there is.
I picked it up the next day to try again, so here is my review now that I've read it:
While the first ~18% of the book was difficult to get through, it picked up after and I really enjoyed the middle and end. It was interesting and I appreciated reading a romance book where the male main character isn't an asshole to the female main character. It was refreshing to also read about wrongful incarceration in a romance book and how that affects people's lives. I liked how we went through Tiffys journey after an abusive relationship and what healing looks like. It felt a little underdeveloped and fast to get to where they were with the reality of her situation. It might have helped if we were brought in more to her thoughts during her therapy. More character development would have been preferred, but I did enjoy how both character's changed. I was rooting for them as a couple and enjoyed seeing the secondary characters' stories as well.

Original reason for DNFing: The MMC's point of view chapters were written very strangely (sentence fragments, weird grammar, clunky). The FMC's chapters were totally normal rom-com chapters. The juxtaposition was bizarre and I couldn't get into it.
