Fairly enjoyable reading, but the entire time I was thinking “isn’t this just being someone’s personal assistant?” and “the biggest part of the mental load is communicating to someone else what needs to be done” which really ripped me out of the story. I felt like there was way too much emphasis on “this is revolutionary!!!!1!” when it isn’t, and I would have enjoyed more depth in the characters instead. Also, there is no way ANYONE besides a licensed therapist should be giving PAID MARRIAGE ADVICE over an app.
