If you’re into boring, predictable books with idiotic asshole characters and think that the only way to be happy is to get married with kids, this is the one for you. 

Also I hate the inane phrasemongering in these books.  „Love shows up.“ „Love is meeting someone where they are.“ idk how about some original writing?

Only reason this is getting stars at all is because it has a semblance of structure and the characters don’t all blend together (only because their only personality are the issues they have.) 

tl;dr this pissed me off. Cover is great though. 

edit: took another 0.5 because the premise is so fun but it’s more or less abandoned in the first 100 pages
