I did not like this book :)

It's a fine enough read for many, but not for me. The first few chapters were good. The book started well, but then it could not keep my attention.

I like literature, I like depth, I like complicated characters, I like a good bleepin plot. This was none of those, but it was a Hallmark movie-esque book full of sisterly love, two hot dudes, and a happily ever after. So if you like that, you'll like this and you should not give any importance to my words because what we like is different and that's okay.

My Notes from My Read-Through Summarized Below*

On to why I did not like this book. This book tried so hard to be "The Book of Tropes," but if failed miserably. It was a half-assed attempt. Bro, either go all in like Monsta X or stay at home and don't even do it! T^T

The FMC is insufferable and I hated her and not for the reasons you would think. The book opens up with "You know how in every romcom the MC goes to small town and falls in love with small-town-person and leaves the cold-hearted ex in Big City? Yep. That's me. The cold-hearted big city ex." Alright, so Nora's supposed to be the cut-throat bitch right? Nope. There is no time wasted in saying, "no, but like backstory, backstory, sad, sad, womp, womp." We didn't even spend any time on creating this woman to be anything but the poor mc you gotta immediately feel for. You do not have to make your main characters likable, bro. You can make them shit and give them some development or keep them shit, but saying the bitch is one thing and completely negating it in the next sentence? What was the reason, Felicia?

Sure, this book is in first-person POV thus we see the way she thinks. All this dialogue is happening in her head. Fine, I'll accept that. Then your FMC is a 1 dimensional, whiny, woe-is-me, immature flop and entirely unlikable. I don't understand why authors are so scared to make their characters complicated. Why do they have to be 3 adjectives and then those same descriptors are repeated to death in the book?

Nora's whole shtick is being a literary agent. The MMC is an editor. Where the hell were the editors for this book? Y'all couldn't offer the author any real feedback? Bro gtfoh. IN MY OPINION, this book was not well written. They sit there and have this conversation about "mom was this. you were that. it shouldn't have been like that. this is that." Right, wonderful, just tell it to me. Not a single bit of this has been expressed in any way throughout this book. It reads like a story-board and not a full-fledged book.

Bro, I'm sorry. I just don't like this book. It's another mediocre romcom in a sea of the same shit that's been in existence for some time now.
