I did not like the main character. Throughout the book, there were many times I found myself rooting for her and starting to like her but then she would make a decision or a side comment that would make me lose all the progress I made. Her thoughts made it seem like she thought she was better than the other women in the book because she was school and career driven rather than caring about looks. This was especially irritating since she chose to start a business dependent on women who like to take care of themselves and care about appearances. This happened when she was talking about her mother or her more girly daughter rather than her nerdy daughter. She also frequently took things as a personally attack which got frustrating. For example, one time Ash (love interest) asked if she got to his house okay and in her head she said that she has Google Maps and a brain so of course she did. It was just small comments like this throughout the book that got frustrating and annoying.
I was not really rooting for the main couple. They really had no interactions and half the time, the main character seemed to dislike everything about Ash that wasn’t his appearance. It kind of felt like it was just thrown in at the end when they really could’ve just been friends.
I thought the main story of a mother abandoned by her husband to raise two girls alone while also pursuing her dreams was inspiring. The main character did have some character growth, but overall I felt like she was frustrating to read about.
