This book was neither funny or romantic, so it feels a bit misleading to market it as a rom-com. I think the author has written well about topics she's passionate about and I appreciate that perspective. But overall the excessive use of slang, continual binge drinking and lack of character development meant this book didn't do it for me.

I didn't understand the ending but I just concluded that

the author chose not to resolve Tia and Nate's relationship

to emphasize the title, intention, and the concept of situationships as a whole. I was sad, I truly thought they were going to fall in love. They had really good chemistry, the banter mixed with UK slang sealed the deal and I could really see it becoming an exclusive relationship albeit that didn't happen. It's a great insight into the current dating scene irl and if you're going through a situationship, I think the book gives you enough encouragement to reflect on your feelings and make a decision that is goof for you, especially if you're the party that wants more.

i really liked this! it’s very different to the normal romance/romcoms i read—definitely not your usual romcom but has the same comedy and romantic elements that you would find.

Tia was a character that was definitely relatable, and her narrative definitely got stronger as the text progressed. i loved being in her mind! and the struggles she faced at work were so interesting to read. i think that was definitely the strongest element of the book! and Tia knowing her self worth!
