Funnily enough, this snippet made me dislike the pairing more.

I wasn’t a huge fan but could vibe with it upon reading the first book - it makes sense from Meghan’s perspective, and I saw it coming. Seeing it from Ash’s perspective, though...

Honestly, it makes Meghan feel like a Replacement Goldfish, and I’m left honestly wondering why her. This just... didn’t vibe with me.
