The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley, Austin Siegemund-Broka
3.5

Struggled to really get into this book, wasn't until the last 20% I was really enjoying it. Felt like nothing much really happened in the first 80% and it wasn't until the FMC breaks up with her ex that anything was really happening. 

I normally love books with flashback scenes in them, however wasn't a huge fan of it here. I did think they added to the story and you got to understand why the MCs hadn't spoken for 4 years but idk if it's that I was struggling with being engaged with the whole book, or what but I felt like I was getting interested in what was actually happening present day and then was suddenly snapped back to 4 years ago and it got me out of my flow
