Part of the reason I had a difficult time connecting with this novel isn't because it is poorly written or flawed, but because my expectations were in a completely different place than the direction that this book chose to take. This clearly isn't the fault of the authors, simply a missed connection on my side. Like many other readers, I'm a bonafide fan of the classic Christina Lauren rom com, and feel that no one can deliver a belly busting laugh quite like this lovable duo. That said, I think the team is starting to take their books in more of a women's/contemporary fiction direction, with lighter romance and a more serious tone. I applaud them for staying true to what they want to write, and while this new style isn't my particular go-to, I hope that readers who thoroughly enjoy the genre will find these books and devour them heartily. If you enjoy a read that is lighter on the romance, but still features a love story worth cheering for, please give this one a try for yourself!

Great review Chels! I finished this one last night and I agree that they seem to be taking their novels in a different direction. While I prefer the ones that cause hysterical laughter, I did enjoy this one more than the last one. I do wish however that they would go back to the quintessential rom coms..
Sorry this missed the mark of what you were hoping for.
I'm all for a smidge smuttier read & have heard this duos more recent books aren't quite hitting those notes anymore - hopefully youre next read will line up with expectations 🤞

I agree!!!! I miss laughing out loud! What happened to these books. They used to be so funny and endearing.
