“Life is the prickly pear.”
Unfortunately this was mostly a miss for me. The only part I liked was Joe’s story—which had me tearing up at the end—but the romance was insufferable. Rosemary and Logan acted like children over something that happened when they were 14, and mind you, they’re in the 30s at the time of the story. I thought their falling out must’ve been something unforgivable for them to be still acting so petty, but it actually wasn’t.
I found the constant pop culture references annoying, and Logan’s celebrity swearing gave me a huge ick. It would’ve made me dnf the book had this not been a bookclub read.
I also found the way the book talked about certain topics to be very awkward—like when Rosemary was talking about being diagnosed with ADHD. It was written in a way that felt like I was reading a pamphlet about the discrepancies on the diagnosis between men and women, not a dialogue between two people in a novel.
Really sad because I was excited about this one! Rip.
