Oh my god. I am Jen and my ex is Andy. This was a tricky one to rate. Andy annoyed the fuck out of me, but I get why he was written the way he was written. I laughed out loud at parts. I cried. But I can’t tell if that’s because I’m currently going through a break up (divorce). As I’m sure others who read this will agree, I perhaps would have preferred an entire book from Jen’s POV, but I get it. It’s not the best book I’ve ever read; it’s also not the worst. But it resonated with me. A hell of a lot.
