This was a weird one for me and I don’t really know what to think of it. This book was pretty depressing the whole way through. The topics covered ended up being pretty deep. The tone was also very one note, no one character had voice or emotion, it was all the same.
I knew the premise going in but I didn’t realize just how long that scenario was going to last.

Basically the entire book is the MMC reading the FMC and her best friend’s emails to each other. And when he reveals it at the end of the book there are no consequences other than he gets the girl. She is not upset or freaked out by his behavior much at all. (Granted she lightly stalked him as well which was also not great. ) They don’t even meet until maybe 20ish pages to the end. I didn’t find it cute when they did finally get together. I just felt weird.

I enjoyed the female friendship at moments and wanted more of them and way less of Lincoln but he was the one we followed for most of the book.

Some of the things Beth says to Jennifer is the wake of her miscarriage made me very upset. It was hard to read and I would not have forgiven her as quickly as Jennifer did.

The 90’s setting was a little jarring at times but interesting too.
I have read a few books by the author and enjoyed those but this was not for me.

There was a lot of build-up to the end of this book. Characters were decently likeable despite their flaws (but we all have flaws, right?). Some humor, but definitely not laugh out loud humor in my opinion. This was a much needed light-hearted read after some heavier plots lately.

Vacation book #2
I'm trying to finish off books I've owned for more than a decade but never actually read.
Honestly i just didn't vibe with it. I found the main character creepy and I'm really over these love at first sight stories. Especially when it's not followed by "and now we have to actually work on our relationshil" but is rather the "love at first sight will make me ignore all the 🚩🚩🚩"
I get that this is rainbow's first book but jeez I'd rather not
