This is an utterly unbelievable story about two people whose partners hook up with each other so they try to fake do the same to make them jealous but end up spending so much time together that the question isn't whether they will get together but when.
I also didn't like all the baggage they brought with them - I don't want an entire book to act as therapy for two characters who have family issues and/or suddenly discover they have put their own life on hold for someone else.
All in all, not Emily Henry's best book. I've finished this three days ago and I have already forgotten most of the plot. What's left is an overwhelming sense of "please both go find a good therapist!"
