Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
Disjointed, boring & cliché. Over 60% & little to nothing has happened. Just a basic book, writing & all. There’s better in the genre

I couldn’t listen to another second. It’s problematic for so many reasons. I thought it was satire at first but the author is dead serious. Wow

It was such a cute story. It’s well written and actually has a plot. I really enjoyed my time with this book and loved many of the characters. My only complaint is the ending was a bit rushed, I wish we spent more time with the couple after they got together but thankfully there’s more books in the series 😊

Is She Really Going Out with Him? by Sophie Cousens

I was excited at the premise of this book because it’s rather unique however it ended up being like any other romance. The divorce elements were the best part but they were few and far between. As the story progressed it became more cheesy and corny. I finally DNF’ed when parts of the story didn’t line up- nothing major, little slip ups but it happened enough times to notice.
