I’ve been following this author for years, YEARS because of her vageode cake. I have bought her books when they were on sale, because why not? But I was uninterested because I’m not a sappy romance kind of reader. I’ve recently gotten into rom-coms but I’m picky. A Book-toker who has never lead me astray recommended Abby’s books and had me wondering if I’d been sleeping on them. Spoiler alert: I was! I don’t know how I’ve been following this woman for years, laughing at her antics and internet trolling and thought she wouldn’t write a hilarious book?! Seriously, the book had me grinning at my desk at work and I was trying to hide that I was reading it. 😅 I felt like the anguish was too drawn out, it went on for 70% of the book. I didn’t expect to also be emotionally destroyed by the side characters either. Only downfall to the book, IMO. But I understand it’s setting us up for book 2. I read this in a day and already have book 2 on hold at the library. Don’t sleep on this like I did! It’s a great emotional little rom-com!
