I weirdly feel like the people who reviewed this book read a completely different book from me. I do not know if there is a different edition, but some reviews have alcoholism and pregnancy as content warnings and there was neither! This is literal lighthearted fluff, given with a few ridiculously annoying/occasionally cruel characters. I have not seen the movie, though I will at some point, but I did quite enjoy the book. I read a book early this year that tried to combine Austen and 2000s rom-coms and did it poorly, this one did it quite well, never trying to be anything it isn't. Just don't go I to this expecting it to be some great work of literature. I wouldn't expect a chocolate bar to be a five course meal.

Not as good or as diverse as the movie; Cassie was done dirty and Julia wasn’t as likable or funny.

I liked the first half more than the second half somehow. There were certain parts I didn’t mind, but I didn’t really like the execution of the story too much.
