2.75 - i think if this was longer and had more character development, i would have liked it more. i found the back-and-forth of Penelope’s family to give me whiplash, and Penelope’s narration became grating really quickly. we all use humor to diffuse tension, but this was to a new degree. i flew through it so it was entertaining, but there were a lot of instances where i found myself cringing or skimming.

I enjoyed the book up to the point where Penelope and the dinner-guest-business-guy make a deal - he will get out of golfing with her dad and she gets a fake BF since her ex-husband is at dinner. For a deal which is such a big part of the summary blurb, it seemed glossed over and for a book where EVERYTHING up to that point had been funny/play-by-play/detailed, out-of-character. Did not feel like going on.
Loved the pomeranians at the airport and the rideshare though.

So precious and sweet, felt giddy and smiley when reading

fluff, easy plot points, nothing I haven't seen before but a good palette cleanser.
