Thanks to Netgally for an ARC for an honest review.
Whereas I enjoyed Love, Unscripted, I found myself reading this just to read it. The beginning didn't capture my attention, and it took a few chapters for this book to find its groove. Even then, I didn't really connect with Tom or Jess as they were both really just intolerable a lot of the time. As someone else said, this wasn't a rom-com, more of a love story that touches on a lot of heavier topics. Jess and Tom also don't spend a lot of time together. When they are in the same city or within each other's vicinities, it just seemed like one misunderstanding after another that kept them from "being together". If they had an actual grown up conversations, then perhaps half of this book wouldn't be needed. I wasn't invested in their love story, but I did enjoy reading about their lives.
