I didn’t realize that Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date is a part of a series, and picked it up on a whim. That being said, it was easy to follow, and while I missed out on some side character back stories, it was nothing too major.
In terms of the book, I absolutely loved Stevie (anxiety rep always had a special place in my heart) and her relationship with Iris. The beginning was very strong as well, introducing themes that I know many will resonate with. That being said, I wasn’t a huge fan of the third act breakup since it seemed out of character, but that’s just a me thing! Overall I would definitely recommend:)
