It was probably 4 stars for the first half and 2 stars for the second half. I listened to the audiobook and was eager to keep listening until about halfway when I realized I was dragging my feet listening to the rest.

Lucian and Emma had extraordinarily verbose inner monologues. But then somehow we never saw anything happen?

Randomly towards the end we find out Emma bought a house. Why didn't we see that? We already met the real estate agent, it was so odd to just throw in. And in the same scene Lucian told us about the meeting he had with his old coach. Somehow (with dual narration/perspectives too!) we missed all of that?! I also disliked the extremely brief mention of abuse. It was not fleshed out and did not add to the story.
