Was Rebecca worried about paying for the PT? Yes. Besides being an EGREGIOUS breach of patient confidentiality on the part of the doctor (who had also previously related medical information to Nate without Rebecca's explicit consent based on nothing but an incorrect assumption), it is an incredibly infantilizing way to treat someone you claim to respect. When Nate calls Rebecca's doctor and pays for her PT sessions, my jaw dropped. This spoiler isn't exactly spoilery because it's a romance novel, we know they end up together, but it addresses things that happen towards the end of the book But MAJOR ISSUES WITH NATE'S BEHAVIOR, see below. I'm giving this a more generous rating because I like Sarina Bowen's writing and it's cool to see a book in set in Brooklyn manage to get a lot of stuff right. He rolled over Rebecca's stated and unstated boundaries, A LOT. I did enjoy their story and I don't regret buying my copy, but I had a lot of issues with Nate's behavior. Sometimes that's a problem with arcs that cover several books. Was I 100% satisfied by their romance? Not quite. I liked Rebecca and Nate together, so let's get that out of the way.
