I don’t do well with characters that are helpless/hopeless/insecure for no good reason. There is a way to write about a character with severe depression, but still make the story engaging & the character likable. This book missed on all of those accounts.

I marathoned the first 80% of this book and was ready to give it a 4.5. The first 50 pages actually had me in tears. I took a day off of reading then came back to finish it, and for some reason the last fifth didn’t grab me like the rest of it had. I really enjoyed the experience of reading this and the effort the author took in building personalities for the central characters even though this is a Rom Com. She didn’t have to do that for me but she did and I’m grateful. Writing was easy and, at times, beautiful. I recommend this one!!
