It was a good book. Not as life-changing as other people have made it out to be in reviews, but it was good. The plot was interesting and the writing was good. I laughed out loud more than once and the reading experience was entertaining. I wanted to know what happened next.
I liked the characters a lot. All six of them are great. I didn’t necessarily like the pairings, though. I don't want to spoil anything, but there's only one couple/potential couple I actually liked. The rest are either too toxic together, or they simply deserve so much better.

Tom's my kinda man 🙂↕️ (in this regard at least). Life's filled with plenty of sad endings, uncertain endings, angry endings... and you get no say in which ones you get. But in fiction you can choose, so why not choose happy ones?
