To be honest, I am so disappointed in this book. The two main characters had zero chemistry! Zero!! They both came off as awful people and it made it hard to root for them.

First of all Charlie Yates was so mean it was unbearable. It went on for too long in my opinion. He acted repulsed by Emma most of the time. How are we supposed to like him? He trash talked her and couldn't remember that he was divorced for most of the book!

Second of all, Emma was a piece of work. Her combo of self righteous and desperate was no good. Katherine couldn't write her with at least some self respect?!

I absolutely hated the part with her sister, Sylvie. How is she going to get mad at Sylvie and try to say she doesn't have a sister and treat her sister that way when she was the one that spent like whole paragraphs yelling at her sister for trying to do something for an afternoon?? And then had the nerve to get mad when Sylvie hit her back with the same treatment. And she was willing to cut her sister out of her life without taking any responsibility for what she said to her! How is that okay!? I was so annoyed.

I didn't like the epilogue.

I think the author should have made the title different. Maybe something like The Dramas or The Soap Opera, something like that? This isn't exactly a romantic comedy. They just didn't vibe. They didn't have any cute romantic moments. It was so far away from a rom-com that is not even funny. And then there's just so much like sadness and drama. Very light on comedy and almost no romance.

I did like Sylvie, the ex boyfriend, and the Dad. All were great characters and had interesting storylines. Most people seem to like this book. Maybe I should have read it when I was in a better mood!
