Las recomendaciones de [a:Anne Bogel|6537850|Anne Bogel|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1560950150p2/6537850.jpg] son sagradas para mí, y cuando dijo que este era un libro divertido y vi esa portada tan linda, no dude en empezar a leerlo.
Al principio me costó un poco acostumbrarme a la manera de escribir de Camille, pero a medida que fui avanzando me di cuenta que estaba disfrutando mucho leerla. Annie me pareció un personaje real que creció muchísimo durante toda la historia y me encantó conocerla tanto.
Me molestó un poco la cantidad de personajes y sub-plots que hay, cuando iba por la mitad ya no me daba tiempo de concentrarme en una cosa porque saltaba otra más interesante que le quitaba protagonismo y al final ninguna tuvo un final que me dejara sastisfecha. De todas formas, espero leer algo más de Camille pronto porque me encantó Annie <3

Camille Pagan is one of the best at women-at-a-crossroads fiction! (And if that's not a genre of fiction, it should be)
In This Won't End Well, our heroine is Annie, a recently unemployed scientist with a fiance who has absconded to Paris to "find himself." What follows is Annie's hilarious and heartbreaking navigation through an emotional minefield, concluding with a very satisfying end. This is not my favorite of Pagan's novels (see, I'm Fine and Neither Are You), but it's still a fun and emotionally satisfying read. Pagan is a master at combining heartbreak with hilarity and I hope she keeps these uplifting novels coming!

Cute story. I liked it but didn't love it. Nice light read though, which is what I was looking for!

Song/s the book brought to mind: All You Had To Do Was Stay by Taylor Swift
Told completely in emails and journal entries, [b:This Won't End Well|51327848|This Won't End Well|Camille Pagán|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1568790323l/51327848._SX50_SY75_.jpg|71654746] by [a:Camille Pagán|4462824|Camille Pagán|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1506559030p2/4462824.jpg] was a nice change of pace from the traditional novel and I loved Pagán's humor and wit.
It took a bit to get me hooked, but once I was into it I was IN. I mean, what's not to love about spying on your new neighbor, and an over enthusiastic friend that tries to sell you stuff while you're dealing with a fiancé that left you behind while he went to Paris to "find himself" before your wedding? Sorry that was probably a run on, but it is so true! Add to that a mom that hoards and having to quit a job due to sexual harassment, and you have yourself a lot of drama. There were a lot of things going on in This Won't End Well and I loved every minute of it.
This Won't End Well also mentions the show Supermarket Sweep which I haven't thought about in ages, but I miss it! I love the little nuggets that I find in Pagán's books that make them relatable to me, and possibly make me feel old like with this one. Really though, I know that when I read a book by this author I will be able to find things that I can relate to even if they are about people that aren't like me. I think this makes it a huge plus for readers, and I know you will be able to find things to relate to as well!
This Won't End Well was a lot of fun, but it was also surprisingly emotional, and I definitely had tears in my eyes towards the end. I love Pagán's writing so much, and I really need to stop putting off reading her backlist because I love everything I read by her. There are a lot of strong female characters in this book which is another thing I loved about it. This is definitely a feel-good read that will make you smile through any tears you might shed, and I highly recommend it!
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an advance review copy of this book, all opinions and thoughts are my own.

This book is a great light summer read, but it still has enough depth to be interesting. The sweet humor is a true delight.

Hey! It's the book I meant to read! (See here.) This was definitely more escape-ish than reading about an overwhelmed mom. I liked it, although I'll probably forget it by a couple days from now.

An enjoyable lighter read! This was witty and completely relatable. It was fun to have a font seat ride as the character navigated her friendships and discovered herself. I snorted with laughter a few times and shook my head at others actions a few times. 3⭐️ Thank you to the publisher for the advance reader in exchange for my honest review.

Feeling very meh about this one. It's very similar to her previous books in that a women has to rethink her current relationship and make sure she's doing what she really wants with WHO she really loves. Pretty predictable. I did really love Mo. It's told entirely through emails/journals/texts/etc which was a little strange for an audiobook.
