Chelsea Camaron is one of my favorites.
This is a prequel to Bk#1 of the Love & Repair series.

The 1st 10 or so pages were decent. Then it went downhill. I got real over repetitive thoughts etc from the female mc. This is why the low stars. I don't remember seeing any editing errors. But the flow was off.
This continued for quite a while.
There is a couple of adult intimate scenes.

The story picks up again towards the end. Say around 60%?
It is a very short read. Around 60 pages.

I almost wish I had just jumped into bk#1 without reading this one.
