etymoye's review against another edition
2.0
The only problem is that this is obviously hanging over our couples sword of Damocles-style the entire book. And when you expect the book to FINALLY bring this up at the 80% mark, it makes a sudden swerve and Cooper’s deadbeat mom enters the picture to steal his life savings. Mackenzie offers Cooper money, Cooper gets offended. The couple fights and makes up.
It almost feels like we’ve addressed the dreaded third act breakup…except that, at the 93% mark, Mackenzie FINALLY learns about Cooper’s stupid bet with his friends. It gives almost no time for a proper grovel or believable reconciliation. The entire conflict with the mom should have been removed, IMO. I was really surprised when the mom showed up because she was barely mentioned by Cooper previously, so it felt like there was almost no groundwork laid for that sudden development.
