Clutch by Lisa Becker

4.0

I would give this 4 1/2 stars

This book reminded me of When Harry Met Sally. Caroline and Mike meet at Harvard and become fast friends. They see each other through good times and bad and have that one time in college where they hooked up....which they tease each other about all the time.

I loved the purse references and how Caroline always had a different purse, clutch, or wristlet for each outfit. I can't imagine what her closet looked like with all those bags.

While I kinda suspected that they would get together in the end, it was interesting to read about all the people that each dated (more so from Caroline's perspective) and how each man would be shot down by Mike for one reason or another. Of course we know why, he wanted Caroline for himself but wouldn't tell her.

Caroline did need to learn to stand up for herself and confront those. I get that it isn't easy but sometimes you just have to do it otherwise you will be taken advantage of in life.

The book was an easy read and had me laughing in various parts. There are some f* bombs but thankfully not too many.
