(FYI This is more of a journal than a review) 

So sorry but I found this to be bad material …. Thought I would relate more and find comfort in this book, having recently been through The breakup of my life.

I found that I couldn’t relate to much, and didn’t enjoy Andy’s perspective at all. I did see myself a bit in Jen in that she wants to be alone, but the whole world including Andy finds it so hard to believe that a woman wants to be alone. ?? My ex thinks I’ve moved on with someone else, wish I could tell her I have not and I probably could never. But yea, didn’t enjoy this book. Perhaps it was because I audiobooked it. Lowkey It was eerie that my ex blocked me as I was listening to this book, as Andy blocked Jen. I reckoned with the blocking in a similar way. I kind of want to make a second account like Jen did and text my ex… but knowing her she would not entertain anyone rn. I miss her still, but not our antics, so I appreciated that Jen and Andy did not get back together.
