This book is extremely sad.  The synopsis makes it seem like this is a light hearted and funny rom-com, but it's not that at all. This is a story about someone who is burned out, depressed, and in a crappy relationship. She doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, and everyone around her makes her feel guilty for it.  The narrator's voice is humorous, but it's not light hearted at all. I did like this book and actually really enjoyed the MC's voice, but I didn't like the plot at all.
