I was really excited about this premise when I first read about this book, and chose it as a BOTM selection in May. Then I started hearing reviews that were mostly lukewarm. Like, mostly 3 stars, saying it was cute, but not a new favorite, and I decided to hold off on reading it so I went in with tempered expectations. It just goes to show that what doesn’t work for some people absolutely works for others, because I had a really good time with this book. It wasn’t perfect, and I wouldn’t call it a new or all-time fave, but I loved that we were following two IT nerds working together and falling in love. I liked them as people, I loved their friendship and banter, and that we actually see them hanging out on dates and doing mundane things that people do in real life friendships/relationships.
I think if there is a weakness it’s actually the initial setup of these three women meeting each other when they all learn via Twitter that they are dating the same catfishing scumbag. I wanted the friendship to be awesome, but it felt rushed and a little forced, and also like not enough time was given to that dynamic.

That said, I think this is a super strong debut and I’ll read more from the author in the future.
