This was a fun fluffy laid back filler read, great for the poolside!
The plot is predictable and a sweet romance. The relationships and friendships were silly and funny. It is written with different perspectives and the immaturity of the characters offered a care free light read. The silly jokes and culture references made me laugh. "pivot" reminded me of 90s and early 00s RomCom movies with the narrator perspective and the colloquial comedic style of writing. Were the characters likable? Full of depth and did this book change my life? No. But, It is low stakes, low commitment care free chick lit book that offers some light entertainment escapism.
You'll love this book if you like
- romcom
- library book romances
- slow burn
