Very Small Spoiler Alert: I went into this book with no expectations and no idea of what it was about. This book was so well written. This is the only book I’ve read where everything I was rooting for fails to come to fruition, but still left me feeling fulfilled. If you are looking for a quick read, then this is the book for you.

I’m really pissed right now. I just wrote a three paragraph long review on why I really didn’t like this book and the app crashed and I lost it all.
So now I’m writing the CliffsNotes version.
Millie was one of the most annoying characters I’ve read in a while. Her reactions or responses to things were infuriating. The way she said such horrible things to Hollis after finding out about the book was spiteful and immature. I wish I found her banter cute and charming, but it wasn’t.
Why is it necessary to write characters who BOTH have some sort of past relationship trauma? One has an ex who used her CHILDHOOD fame to gain his own fame. The other had an ex who used him to get back at his DAD?! Come. On. It’s ok to have one emotionally stable character sometimes.
The only plot I enjoyed was Mrs. Nash. Getting a glimpse into her interactions with Millie was sweet. I wish we had more of that. I couldn’t quite connect with her love story, though. I don’t know why. I actually couldn’t connect or feel the chemistry between any of the characters.
I hate that I didn’t love this book. I wanted to.
I guess I basically just typed out the three paragraphs again and didn’t do the short version after all.
