⭐⭐⭐ 3 Stars

I’ve been trying to write a review about this book for probably half an hour, but I have a lot of mixed feelings about it. Because of the marketing surrounding the book I was expecting a more funny and romantic story but in reality is more about dealing with an awful breakup.

It’s not like the breakup wasn’t handled correctly but it took away a lot of the time to develop the new relationship. And I never really saw Laurie getting over Dan, it was more like finding a replacement. I would have loved to see more of her development as an independent woman first or at least seeing it happening at the same time she’s falling for Jamie, but a lot of side plots happen and I feel like we never see any of those two things fully accomplished.

Also the writing in the beginning it’s a bit weird, the laughs are actually put as dialogue instead of as a description: “Hahahaha” “lol”. And the rhythm of the book it’s even messier. Half of the book it’s Laurie lamenting her situation with Dan and suddenly, after probably 3 dates with few interactions, she’s visualizing herself having kids with Jamie. She mentions a very delicate situation with her father’s friends when she was little that came out of nowhere that it’s only used for mother-daughter bonding for 2 chapters and then it's discarded.

It was entertaining but I was never really immersed in the story.

1 extra star for mentioning Little Mix.
