Well done! Loved this male protagonist story about love and friendship.
This might be one of the best books I’ve ever read—the mix of romance, humor, and a journey to find yourself is brilliant. It was exactly what I needed. It also packed quite the emotional punch, hitting closer to home than I expected.

3.5 out of 5 Stars.
I had no idea of this book's existence, despite being a big fan of the 'rom-com' genre, a couple of weeks later after this book's release date I came across to it in a bookstore. The cover screamed that it's a chick-lit/rom-com so I decided to read the premise. The reason why I got invested in reading this book was: 1) It's a rom-com written by a man, which I rarely stumble on. 2) It's from only a guy's percpective, which to me is very refreshing (naturally, cuz it's also written by a man), but I can literally count only on one hand how many books I read from a guy's pov (and all of them those were from dual pov's). 3) Lastly, the cover seemed like I would enjoy the book.
My overall thoughts: I liked this book quite a lot actually. It was fun, easy plotline, likeable characters, fast-paced and I'm not kidding, but I laughed OUT LOUD a few times, and not only just smiled. Sure, it's typical and cliché, but very fun to read. I mean, if they're not cliché are they even considered a rom-com?

Found it a bit hard to get into at first but it grew on me and there were many times I laughed out loud at comments and jokes, and I was fully engrossed in the romance as it unfolded and the hiccups along the way. Even teared up at Papa and the Coin in the ending.

Found the first half of this book strangely compelling, and then my enthusiasm rapidly waned around the half way mark. The concept was a great idea, but not perhaps executed in the best way. A fine read, but not one I'll be queuing up to recommend to others.
