I have a lot to say. Not a fan of the writing style. Or Nicks grandma and mother Eleanor.

When she was talking about Rachel not being good enough it reminded me so much of my mother.

The only normal person in that was Phillip young, nicks father. Idk just wow. I love Rachel and her mom’s relationship. I understand why she did what she did. Amazing. Kinda drawn out, like half of it was chicks talking about wealth and money and how much stuff they had. I didn’t hate Michael because he was also the only normal guy

but the way he reacted towards wealth, but come on man that was a coward move. Anything else would be better.

I mean it’s Astrid, me too man. Makes sense why Charlie is still head over heals for her, because same. And Colin was normal also. I love how genuinely tired he is (even if it’s like depression) there wasn’t really a lot of mental health issues present in it. So I’m glad we got a little of that in it. Bernard is a complete dick.  Fuck him. So overall I loved it, even though it was confusing to follow. I will not remember most of their names finishing the rest of the trilogy though

I'm letting myself let this one go, DNF. 

This started out as a really fun read. However, with each passing chapter it became more tedious, the characters become less likeable, and the author's prejudices became more evident. 

I did enjoy this movie for what it was, I don't need the book.

It’s a funny book, but there are some parts where reactions are missing. A lighthearted book. Would recommend
