I was inspired to read this book based on withcindy's review of it on youtube so i knew the plot before going into it but i wanted the chaos. Admittedly, Cindy's review made it sound a lot more fun than it actually was, but, again, that's maybe because I already knew what was going to happen, so they chaotic twist and turns it made weren't as entertainingly random as they seemed in the youtube video. Nonetheless, the last 100 pages were an amusing ride. I love it when authors are bad at writing cohesive plots. Not to dump on the author's writing but her best friend taking off to Vegas (or wherever, I forget) and getting married to someone she'd known for, like, a minute is simultaneously the laziest example of a filler plot and the most hilarious thing i have ever read. I didn't know books like this could be published and sold.
