Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins for the chance to read this book early in exchange for an honest review!

This book was very...bland. I wasn't particularly invested in Bryony's arc - mainly because it felt like all the development this character would have would be in the prologue - and I wasn't given enough reasons to think Jack was a good enough MMC for me to care whether they stayed together or not. And, to be fair, it didn't even feel like I was supposed to care. They kinda just fell into a relationship where Jack informs Bryony he had been dating her for years, even if she was dating someone else (I do understand where he was coming from, but it just sounded odd to me) and we are told Bryony is suddenly in love with this man and we are given absolutely no romantic scenes, no angsty reveal, nothing to actually remind us that we are, in fact, reading a rom-com.

At this point, I was so uninterested in this book that the whole 3rd act breakup and following reconciliation did absolutely nothing for me.
