The Couple by Helly Acton
4.25
emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a lovely and witty romance with a unique twist. The chemistry felt real, the characters were likeable and realistic, and the world provided interesting commentary on single-dom. Also, the audiobook was one of the best narrations I've listened to. 

Reading the author's note was strange, because I felt like the book still showed a couple as being the best scenario. It ended with the main character in a happy relationship, and showed single people in a negative light. It also didn't explore polyamorous relationships at all, which I felt was a missed opportunity.
