2.0

Nope. No. Nup. Had potential but completely squandered it on a miscommunication trope and underdeveloped relationships!

There were some good moments, don't get me wrong. Christina was fantastic. Her possible relationship was great until the last few chapters forgot about the best friend? Gregor was amazing too, hilarious tbh and the most sensible of all of them. The guys had their funny and sweet moments too, and I did laugh out loud at times!

But how can these men claim they love the FMC at all? Like they went on maybe 2.5 dates between them and then just banged the rest of the time before they disappeared without hearing her side of the story

Not to mention, and I'm sorry but ⚠️SPOILER ALERT⚠️ for below because I NEED to talk about this, you have been warned

The pregnancy at like one month into even seeing these people again and IMMEDIATELY after they've apologised for leaving?! Married within a year?! SECOND CHILD ON THE WAY?! No. Absolutely not. 

I hated that ending. I skimmed at best once I saw her vomiting "randomly". We all knew what that was.


Overall, if those tropes are your jam and you dont mind relationships that have zero depth, go for it, but otherwise I can't say I'd recommend this
