I somehow missed this Katie Cotugno??! I have watched approximately six and a half seasons of say yes to the dress in the last three weeks, so I needed a little brain break. This book seriously delivered! I just wanted the characters to fall in love so hard and then for everything to be okay. So proud of this character and loved how the story played out. Read it.

I liked the concept and the author’s style, but even though main character Fiona had plenty of reason to be so grumpy and rude, I just really couldn’t connect with her much. Based on the back of the book, I imagined this story to play out so differently. And while I did enjoy most of it, I wish I got the version I was expecting too.

I do plan on reading more from this author though! It was an easy read.

This was a quick read and is a really slow burn that is focused on character development, but honestly, the characters, specifically the main characters of Sam and Fiona stay as one-dimensional as they started. I also could not stand the vapidness and utter ignorance of Sam. There are two negative interactions that happen with Fiona that Sam is around for and his response is dripping with no empathy and blaming Fiona for her rightful reactions (another woman telling Fiona she can't drink because she incorrectly believes she was in rehab and an ex-lover touching Fiona without her permission.) Both times Sam's response is disgusting. He straight up views this first interaction as if this is some catfight and asks Fiona if she just doesn't like other women/are jealous of other women even though she was outright insulted by the said woman and when a man decides to wrap their hands around her waist and squeeze without her permission, Fiona is the one overreacting in his opinion. Yuck. And yet, this is the one that she wants to be with? Nah.

Good but not great book. Was cute and super quick. I wish the ending had been drawn out a little more as it felt rushed. The main character also needed a bit more character development.

I loved this book! But what made me love it so much is the ending. I was panicking because there was not much left of the book so I was confused as to how the heck it was going to end. But the end explanation was perfect and really wrapped up the entire story well. It gave reasoning behind Fiona's actions and as soon as it was revealed I had a "well duh" moment as all of the signs pointed to a very obvious answer that I had missed! Great book all in all.
