This book was incredibly funny and I loved the dynamic of the MCs.
What I don't love is women constantly bodyshaming and belittling themselves...I really have a limit for how much of that I can take. Except for that, loved the first half but meh to the second half because in my opinion some things that were said were not okay in any way.
This could have easily been a 4+ star book because of the humour and characters but because of the forced drama(lack of communication between best mates who talk about everything, lack of trust, things said that are not really forgivable) I liked it way less.
