Read this during an extreme bout of insomnia. Kent writes in British English, something I had to remind myself during the occasional British colloquialism, otherwise very easy to follow and digest. 
I was not a fan of; the repetitiveness of certain words and emotional approaches to complex themes. A habit I can only surmise as a coping mechanism and consistency. for example; the repetition of the fact this is a bulky romance. We know. There was zero need to bring it up repeatedly to reaffirm there are bully main characters. However, it came across as unimaginative and pervasive sense of comfort from Kent. Almost like an oppressive desire to protect the reader from fully immersing oneself into the story.
