So all signs are pointing to her getting in a relationship with the ‘nice’ brother, but I want her to end up with the ‘mean’ brother 😂

I’m about 3 hours in on this book but I’m finding it difficult to connect with the protagonist. I keep anticipating it, but the payoff for the tension is yet to happen and I’m starting to doubt her. The compartmentalisation is well done and maybe the slow payoff lends itself to this very thing… I’m not ready to give up yet, but given how self-gratified she is in her role right now, I’m finding it tedious.
