This was a very unique read multi-protagonist romance with both queer and straight couples.
I’ve never read anything like it before. The romance aspects felt very real. All the decisions the main characters made regarding their love life felt plausible. Sometimes romances can end up being too far fetched, so it was nice to see one that was more grounded.

Lastly, the final parts of the book were incredibly heartfelt and I just loved it! There was a lot of emotion and heart.

Overall, if you’re looking for a different kind of chick lit book, I really recommend this one!

Special thanks to the author and her assistant and Atria Books for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for an honest review.

The narration just wasn't doing it for me. Maybe I'll pick it up again not on audio. I stopped at chapter 21.

This book is the rom com to end all rom coms. It has every trope you can think of, and it doesn’t come off as cliché. This focuses on the lives and loves of several wonderful characters, and their stories blend together perfectly. I loved this funny and sweet book. Plus, the cover is adorable!

I received an ARC of this book from a Goodreads giveaway.

I really enjoyed the concept of this; however, the execution failed to wow me. I felt that the cast of characters was too vast, but not developed enough for me to care about them.

I received an ecopy of this book through Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.

This book gave me strong Love, Actually vibes and I was totally here for it. Interweaving storylines and short, snappy chapters made it hard to put down, and I found myself invested in every single character. One of my favorite chick-lit books I've read in quite some time.

This was fun in parts, but felt a bit too long for me. With so many characters, it was hard to feel super invested in any.
