You end up rooting for Georgina though lol

I laughed out loud and cried happy tears at the end. It was really good and I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to read it :)

Oh my gosh! I’ve never give a book one star. This was such a disappointment. It’s so slowww. I skimmed a lot of pages that were time wasters. I only kept reading because I had already invested in it. I kept waiting for it to get good and that only came in like the last three chapters! Be ware!

I never write reviews but I love the way she tells stories and stories within stories and the characters are like dear friends. I’ve snuck off to read this book over the last few days and hated to put it down. I will miss it now for sometime. She is a genius.

CW: sexual assault! This book is what happens if someone internalized the “Cool Girl” passage from Gone Girl and then proceeded to live in the real world (as much as a fictional character can), which made it brutally relatable. It’s about the expectations and desires that can lead victims of SA to question their complicity, and it’s also about dealing with the shame that can follow - all of which sounds super heavy. But for a story that doesn’t make light of the issues involved, it is a very light-hearted read. It’s ultimately sweet and lovely, which is why Mhairi is a must-buy author for me. +10 for a woke Book Husband -2 because I wanted a LITTLE more heat and interaction between them (but given the larger themes, I’m not that mad about it).

I don’t know what I was hoping this book would be, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. It definitely had its funny moments, but I found it to have entirely too much dialogue and soliloquy’s. To the point where I was skimming pages trying to figure out when the long dialogues would come to an end, so I could reengage. While I really liked the young versions of Georgina and Lucas, I never really fell in love with the characters as adults. Perhaps this book would be better served, as a movie, but either way, I didn’t love it.
