This plot was all over the place. Just utter chaos and not in a way that felt right at all.

The characters were good and all but the plot. I cannot get over how erratic it came across.

I think for a novel that literally has the words rom-com in it’s title, it does far too much paying homage to classic and staple rom-coms through title dropping then it actually does contributing to the sub-genre itself. Because the plot execution was none of the fun parts of rom-coms and just the drama of it all, and it was never delivered in a manner that left me with the cozy conundrum of guilty-pleasure-but-feel-good vibes that I attribute to rom-coms. 

I want an HEA that I can invest in without shame, and this was not that.
