I liked this better than Delilah Green, and also I'll admit my expectations were probably more realistic.  At least this one has significantly less cringe scissoring scenes! But genuinely, I am a sucker for millennial girlie struggling with her career and family of origin trying to fall in love and get her shit together books and this is no exception. And I even like Jordan

despite the fact she's kind of whiny and wtf was the sudden reveal that Meredith was actually alive and just a bitch??? Idk I'll give Jordan credit because Meredith is the Big Bad
