**SPOILERS**
Okay, so I have absolutely loved all of the other books I have read by Abby Jimenez but this book had me wanting to fight these main characters. I LOVED the funny moments, the 3 legged dog named Lieutenant Dan and the cussing bird so much and that's the only thing that saved my rating from being lower, if I am just being honest. The part that makes me hate this book so much is it legit took SO long for the main characters to finally open their mouths and TALK to one another. It not until the 85% mark. Then we have 1 chapter of them being finally happy together, then BAM third act breakup, and then throw in a little pregnancy trope at the end. I wanted to love it so much, but I was yelling out loud at this book. Still a big Abby Jimenez fan though!
