My main critique all boils down to one pervasive thought I couldnāt shake: āthis book was so glaringly written by a man.ā In every description of the female characters, to the sexualized POV of the supporting female cast. Those elements were so distracting and strange that they really took me out. The book could have definitely used some major editing.
Besides that, the pacing and structure of the story made absolutely no sense to me. The twists (which do not make sense) are misplaced in the story.
Plus thereās like a whole chapter full of racial/homophobic slurs for some reasonā¦. Iām remainā¦ confused.Ā
Regardless, I think Iām glad I read it?

Also the homophobia and rape jokes are more than I have time for. I donāt know how this could be a āfun and lightā read for people. I donāt think we read the same book.Ā

The further into the book you get, the worse it gets. Nothing about any of these characters made me want to read past all the terrible things happening on the bachelor/bachelorette party.readbycarina's review against another edition

It's good, not mindblowing, but good.
The story was a tad too slow for me, but the ending made it all worth it.Ā
