I like Katie McGarry's books but they are intense. There's so much going on that it can detract from the central relationship, which I think happens here to some degree. Both West and Haley have so many issues and problems that it felt like too much to me. And the MMA fighting context was confusing as well -- we don't actually see much of Haley fighting, despite her being so expert, and I wasn't always sure what was going on in that world. But her books are also kind of out there in a brave way -- here the ending with West's final fight is unexpected, not necessarily the ending one would expect (trying to avoid spoilers!) and Haley is an unexpected impressive heroine. It's well written and not quite like anything else, so it's worth a try--
