Just Some Stupid Love Story by Katelyn Doyle
5.0
This story will break your heart over and over again - but it is so worth the emotional trauma.
In JUST SOME STUPID LOVE STORY, we follow exes Molly and Seth. Molly, a rom-com writer who doesn't believe in love, and Seth, a divorce lawyer who most definitely believes in love, meet after 15 years for their high school reunion - 15 years after Molly ghosted Seth following graduation. At the reunion, Molly and Seth make a bet - whoever can predict the fate of five couples before the next reunion (in five years) must declare that the other is right about true love - and the fifth couple is the two of them. Over the next five years, we catch glimpses of Molly and Seth's encounters. Molly claims that they are set up for heartbreak. Seth believes they will end in love.
Like any classic rom-com (or rom-traum), this book continuously broke my heart. I loved Molly and Seth, and I repeatedly wanted to scream, "Stop being idiots!!" Their journey was emotional, difficult, and required a lot of growth (for both of them). The continuous acknowledgement of anxiety, fears, and the need to be better for themselves (and eventually, each other) felt natural and human. Molly and Seth are the definition of 'right person, wrong time.' And while their journey was at times devastating, I think they needed that time to grow.
JUST SOME STUPID LOVE STORY is filled with emotion, heart, love, and great banter. I was cackling through my tears. Katelyn Doyle gives us a love story that is worth waiting for - you definitely will want to read this.
