At first I totally loved this story, it has a total You’ve Got Mail feel to it, and I’m here for it! I don’t think I’ve laughed more while reading a book before. It’s hilarious and Emery is so real and relatable. I’m glad she’s not made out to be a bombshell and she’s just a regular short, curvy, funny chick. It’s easy to predict what’s going to happen as a reader though. It’s a little annoying Emery doesn’t catch on, but once she does I feel like her reaction is appropriate. However, I kind of hate how she was angry and not broken hearted. If someone did this to me I don’t think I could trust them. I kind of wish she would have had a break down and cried about it, they potentially could have had an emotional fight where they lay their insecurities on the table and spoke their truths. I feel like JT missed an opportunity to write a really emotional, meaningful, and memorable passage. Instead she went with anger and humor, which is fun, but I would have enjoyed a more emotional lovey scene.
