Missed the mark for me, which sucks cause I was really looking forward to it after Vera Wong

I know this was supposed to be a zany comedy of errors but I was just frustrated the whole time with all the stupid choices/actions. 90% of the problems and issues could’ve been solved if one thing had been done in the beginning of the book. I also wasn’t into the romance

I think this would’ve been better as an hour and a half movie, not a ten hour audiobook

Almost as cute as Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers. Started out as what I thought was going to be a syrupy sappy romance, and I was initially disappointed after having fallen in love with Vera Wong - was hoping it was going to be more of the same. Glad I stuck it out. There were definitely a few small editorial issues with structure and continuity, but if I ignore all  that, it was funny and charming and fun enough that I’ve already taken out the sequel from the library.

A surprisingly endearing read considering the subject matter. It also requires you to release some common sense processing to enjoy it…
It  seemed very wild to me that no one once considered security cameras in the many kerfuffles that occurred in the hotel??? But that would’ve eliminated many plot points pretty quickly so I suppose it made sense to ignore that as a realistic solution.
There were moments that felt repetitive and I did feel the author wanted to do a lot within these pages that wasn’t fully developed. However, I went into this read without many expectations so it kept me entertained throughout the reading experience.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book, and I think I'd read another, even though the writing wasn't my fave. It was very conversational, which is totally accessible and fun and makes for a nice relaxing read. It's just not as much my jam. But I love a good love story, and I really liked the peak into this very female-driven world.

This book was very funny and I loved the family dynamics, but I wanted more time with Meddy and Nathan for their romance to be believable.
