Rey is shown to be very impulsive and compassionate, but also someone who avoids her fears. When she arrives on Ahch-To, she already has a lot of doubt in herself as a Force user, hence why she asks Luke to save the Resistance rather than train her. When Luke disappoints her and Kylo exposes Luke's shame, Rey's compassion is directed to Kylo. She impulsively goes to him because of her vision when they touched hands. ("You'll turn. I'll help you.") Rey still doesn't believe in herself and she thinks Ben will take up Luke's mantle. When he doesn't turn, she's forced to stop coddling her fears about her abilites and save the Resistance herself.

I have no explanations for TROS. That movie was a mess.

But even when she's so disappointed in Luke (and she definately was, I agree on that) and open to hearing Kylo out, I do still think there should be more resistance in her to believing in him and his potential to turn good, because there's really very little time passing between FA and TLJ and she saw him kill her friend, his own father, (when he was offering him unconditional forgiveness, basically for no reason), and try to kill her and almost kill her (that last one could be the easiest to disregard here). It just felt like she forgot it all too easily and went in a bit too naively for someone who grew up the way she did. It would work perfectly if she had less direct contact with Kylo in the previous movie/was unaware of him killing Han, etc, or if she had some additional reason to trust him than just that one touch of hands in the force vision.

(Frankly speaking, I'm so really not into them as a pair, but her getting a crush on him somewhere around that time is almost the only plausible explanation...)

And yes, it all still does make way more sense than TROS, that's for sure.
