Two big detractors for this one:
- the author does the whole, no quotations around dialogue thing
- the FMC calls her father Daddy :puke:
Other than that - this was delightful! Very fast paced, super fun read, felt like a mix between Gilmore Girls and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The characters all felt well developed, the plot was a little silly at times, but you I didn't even care because it was just so much fun. I wished that the ending had had a little more resolution with her parents and addressed some of the issues that they had earlier in the book, but otherwise the end felt well paced and wrapped up nicely.
CW for infidelity, homophobia, racism (none by the MC)
The audiobook is incredibly well narrated, and I think adds some nuance and charm that can fall flat when reading the physical version.
