Cute story but not the clearest plot - lots of sub plots that didn’t really drive the main story line. Wholesome and light hearted book!

Pros: laugh out loud funny, prim mmc and chaotic mmc, great one liners and characters were pretty good, deals with hard issues

Cons: overall a good book but found it could be too politically correct, made fun out of it throughout the book but too often that it took me out of the book. 

the cover art is like, actually the worst I've ever seen

This book was like Bridget Jones’s Diary only if Hugh Grant was dating Colin Firth. With a side of dung beetles. Although a bit of a Red, White & Blue rip off (which I think I liked a shade better) it featured two very different very British leading men: a Darcyesque officious stuffy lawyer and a melodramatic shameless D list celeb. Somehow, Luc grew on me hugely and this book managed to be both tenderly romantic and pretty funny thanks to a hysterical cast of friends and co-workers. Although the ending wrapped abruptly (I feel like there should have been like 3 more chapters there) it was a delight to read.

“...if we let happy things make us unhappy when they stopped, there would be no point having happy things!”

Very cutesy and funny. Also had me infuriated at moments because I was like "WHY ARE YOU (BOTH) LIKE THIS?!?!"... only to realize I am, and would be, the exact same kind of mess and therefore I cannot judge. Not too much anyway.

The main character was so insufferable near the end I wasn’t sure I was gonna finish it. He kept complaining how much of a shit person her was but he wasn’t ever changing.
