As a note, I listened to the audiobook and do not own the text

I really want a half star. I'd give this 3.5 easy, but it just doesn't quite reach a 4 for me.

If I'm being negative this is about a doctor with daddy issues who fails to respect doctor/patient boundaries. If I'm being positive it's a dramatic love story.

Either one of those is basically fine, but the story development felt incredibly bumpy for me. When it was good, it was good, but when it lagged or the main character lapsed into being annoying, I lost interest. YMMV - it was a best seller in Japan and I suspect if you don't mind the MC's personality the small drags won't be as annoying.

Difficulty wise I'm confused by its current 36 (Dec 2022) - that feels a bit high. While there is some medical and legal vocab, it's nothing too crazy and the writing style is mostly straight forward.
