For the first half of this book I was enjoying the story and was lucking forward to Mr Malcolm getting a taste of his own medicine, so to speak. But unfortunately he didn't. Honestly, he was a very arrogant and annoying MMC and I felt kind of bad for Selina.
I was originally thinking this was going to be a solid 3 stars but it just went downhill. Overall it was simply okay and I probably wouldn't recommend it.

I weirdly feel like the people who reviewed this book read a completely different book from me. I do not know if there is a different edition, but some reviews have alcoholism and pregnancy as content warnings and there was neither! This is literal lighthearted fluff, given with a few ridiculously annoying/occasionally cruel characters. I have not seen the movie, though I will at some point, but I did quite enjoy the book. I read a book early this year that tried to combine Austen and 2000s rom-coms and did it poorly, this one did it quite well, never trying to be anything it isn't. Just don't go I to this expecting it to be some great work of literature. I wouldn't expect a chocolate bar to be a five course meal.

This book was very cute even if it was lacking in depth or spice. For some reason it reminded me of the movie Clue, I think because the characters kept finding themselves in such absurd situations.
If you are looking for something light and quick this is a book for you.
CW: alcohol abuse, bullying, albleism, misogyny/sexism, ageism, classism
