If a romcom is marketed as: “it’s not really about the romance, many other things are going on!!” I weirdly expect it to pass the Bechdel test and I’m not sure this one does. It was entertaining tho (around the obviously less happy storylines) and a fast read, for which I was in the mood. Actually wouldn’t have minded more romance scenes for this one because I liked their chemistry and the more serious bits dragged on a bit too much for me (particularly the bits building up to a dramatic movie climax scene).

(Actually, as a dramatic person myself I would like to assert that this was too dramatic a method for closure. Although advising therapy is used as a manipulation tactic in this story I feel it would actually have been a fine way forward).

Ah well

Well, this was going to be a high like 3.75 star at least, but that epilogue just booped it over.
Well paced, well narrated and very touching. I wouldn't have minded more of Cal and Harriet's relationship growing.
