2.0

I don't know if it's me or the book, but I hated this book. I could not root for the protagonist no matter how much I wanted to. I couldn't get on board with the couple as much as I wanted to. Two of our supporting cast of friends were manipulative, immature, and obnoxious (and I think we were supposed to like them a little). I loved Henry's release last year (Book Lovers) SO MUCH. This one did not land for me.
