Meh. I felt like I made an effort to keep going with this. Some parts were great (
I thought the part where they were saying goodbye to their dog was well done
) and they kept me reading but mostly it was just good/fine - I don't think I'd have carried on had I not heard good reviews about this author.

For this type of book, I thought it was more progressive than many in terms of challenging gender stereotypes/tropes (although I have high expectations and I think the bar is pretty low) but I still found myself eye-rolling at various parts.

There was a bit of a 'she doesn't know she's pretty' trope with the MC and that thing where they don't realise someone fancies them, even when it gets pretty obvious, which I find a bit annoying.

Didn't enjoy the audiobook narration.

Mhairi McFarlane has done it again! Really funny (laughed out loud many times), heartfelt, and thoughtful. I loved the characters and their personal growth throughout the story, and the twists throughout the plot surprised me. I loved this book!
