Predictable. Boring and rambling. Almost too cute.

Also, this is just my personal pet-peeve but how about we don’t end every single love story in a pregnancy and a wedding? Not wanting kids is not automatically a trauma response.

Definitely liked this one better than The Friend Zone! The main characters felt more fleshed out and in tune with each other. However, lack of communication played such a big part in the angst of this book that it ruined it for me. I’d estimate about 25% of the plot would be unnecessary if that factor were removed, which is too much of the book for me. Lots of assumptions about what the other person wanted was made, even though they were generally good at communicating otherwise!
I’m glad that the characters (or at least Briana) went into solo therapy (I hope Luke did too but I didn’t hear that mentioned) because there was a lot of trauma in their lives to work through!!
I think the elevator scene was especially jarring to me; Luke had repeatedly shown himself to be kind and caring and deeply into Briana, but she all of a sudden decided he wasn’t based on seeing her shitty ex. And I get that you can’t logic your emotions into understanding, but WHEW it was a HUGE conflict that was resolved in like 3 minutes. It gave me whiplash.
I appreciated the author’s note at the end, learning about personal connections to plot points is always enlightening!
Also, the narrators of the audiobook were incredible! I don’t know if I would have enjoyed this book as much if they weren’t the narrators.
