i never write reviews but this book was so bad. its obnoxiously cringey, the characters are not just unlikeable but completely pathetic and its just overall bad storytelling

challenging emotional reflective

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Loveable characters? It's complicated

Found all of the characters to be frustrating at some point I'm the novel. I would also classify this as a reflective women's fiction piece moreso than romance. There are romantic elements but that didn't feel like the arc of the story.

I also felt like to female character was deeply flawed as well; she tried justifying many of her behaviors by her husband's initial actions. It was quite frustrating. Overall, I think the authors point was to show how flawed we are in love and in our platonic relationships. I deeply resonated with the aspects of motherhood. Overall I felt engaged in the audio and wanted to keep listening.

Fun, light palette cleanser. The book equivalent of a Hallmark Christmas movie.

I was excited to get to this one based on others's reviews, then not excited about it at all, then realized neither were the other people who I had seen review it. I can't quite put my finger on what didn't work, but none of the characters felt particularly likable in the way the author seemed to want me to like them so their actions did not seem to make sense to me.

(Sidebar: the Varsity Blues bikini reference tripped me up for days - a high school girl confident enough to do that for her boyfriend at the time? I could not comprehend.)

(Second sidebar - asked me husband to describe in great detail how he would handle a secret poker gambling addition, because that also felt off.)
