This book delivered those classic 2000’s RomCom vibes for me! The FMC annoyed me throughout the book but I thought she had some pretty valid reasons for her behavior regarding her distrust of love/marriage. The MMC was such a sweetheart and was the exact person Bea needed in her life. Such a sweet story that would be a perfect movie!
I really enjoyed the side characters and their core friendship! There is a side character struggling with addiction, so keep that in mind before picking this up.
I don’t know why but the narrator’s voice turned extra “breathy” in the epilogue and I was laughing yet also slightly uncomfy 😂

Overall, this was a fun read and I loved the writing style. The banter, character relationships, and dynamics were great.
However, I absolutely, positively, Hated Bea. Dating the attorney of her best friend’s ex? That didn’t do it for me. I didn’t think she had enough development, didn’t address her challenges with her mother and the ending was very abruptly “life is great!” without feeling like the growth was there.
The love story would’ve worked better if Nate had been just a substitute professor, even her boss. It might have pushed it closer to 4 ⭐️ territory for me despite the lack of depth. It would’ve given it just a fluffy romance vibe without the extra infuriating component of Jillian getting completely shafted.
So, overall, great, fun, fluffy romance. Infuriating main character…a little contradictory I’ll admit…but apparently you can like a book and hate the main character. Who knew!
