This is the most MISMARKETED book i've ever read.
This is not a romance.
The cover does not match at all, the title does not match at all, the description does not match at all.

Lucas role is so minimal in this, if it wasn't printed on the back and front of the cover I wouldn't have expected him to even be considered as a love interest.
This is so much more about Georginas friends and family and asshole ex-boyfriend. Why is this even classified as a romance? Lucas and her do not have a single scene together (by themselves) up until like page 250.
250.
WHat?!

If this was marketed otherwise it would've gotten 4 stars because as a fiction book about a struggling, not very sympathetic woman in her 30s I wouldn't liked it more. FFS
