3.5 stars

A rom-com about a woman who will do anything to get with the guy of her dreams. It was a bit unrealistic and I found the main character to be a bit irritating at times with the decisions that she made.

Cute idea. It was a little slow but cute characters. The conflict with the mother friend was pretty relatable.

My hangup: I felt like the way it was resolved with the other dude was not satisfactory. Like he was basically used. She could have talked to him and apologized or something. Maybe even Ash could have gone. Or heard he didn't show up. Or he could have met someone else there. Idk it isn't that we don't know, it is that it really wasn't fair to the poor guy that I didn't like it. Like the characters just didn't care which to me is a bit selfish.

Oh also, why was the GPS in miles?
