Good for some
This is one of those books that are a hit or a miss because it seems it's going to target one type of audience, it won't be able to hit a wide audience. That said, I think the blurb, not even the first impression, gives away the ending, and it kind of ruins the surprise. They get separated and he misses the love of his life. Of course, that's who shows up and upends his life for the better.
