I'm conflicted. Hear me out. He's practically engaged to another woman for the entire book. This other woman is his ACTUAL GIRLFRIEND, whom he has been dating for over a year. He's even planning to propose! He was already married to his ex wife and it didn't work out. They've been divorced for a while. The book takes place over the course of a few days.... Days! They seem to have way too many previous issues for this to work out. But she was able to stay off of her phone for a few hours, so I guess that everything will be well in the future????
That man is not dependable. Tom is not a hero. He is fickle. What is his job that he can afford a custom engagement ring from Tiffany? and being super chill with it being stolen! Anyways, a few days (days!) with the ex and he's ready to forget any commitment he had to his ACTUAL GIRLFRIEND... THE ONE THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO PROPOSE TO.
But I did enjoy the writing and would read more books by the author. I just can't get over the emotional affair that he allowed to happen. it's very convenient that your girlfriend, that you emotionally cheated on, was thinking about dumping you...Even though there were no indication before that, besides the little carrot that's dangled at one point in the story. Also, I can't rate this higher than a 2 because they purposely named their own flesh and blood, that they claimed to love, Gorby.
