Started this book a while ago maybe February 1st or before n couldn’t stick w it but yesterday (02/23/25) I started listening to it on Libby and I liked being able to work, drive, and listen. The book was supposed to be satire so that’s why it didn’t get 1 star but omg I did not love it 😂it was very predictable but also so stupid. The main character was so dumb. She thought she was pregnant..come to find out the girl peed on a Covid test. Need I say more? It was a couple times that I chuckled but omg I did not like the story. I knew there were twins then I knew there were triplets before it was announced but it just doesn’t make any sense. And the fact that he got so mad at her for thinking a dress was white n find. Idk none of it makes sense n i think imma take a Freida break I can’t do this anymore. Not for a while,

Update. While I’m inputting my book info I realized this was actually a 3 star instead of 2 star like I had it originally. After having time to understand the point of the book and taking it for what it is I liked it more.

Freida is clearly online reading all the comments about her and about books in general. She had me mostly rolling my eyes and laughing out loud. There are quotes that prove she is reading the same social media book commentary. I also think she was trying to cover all the typical prompts in reading challenges.
