The only likable characters were a couple of Baby Boomers who, for reasons, chose to live with the emotionally immature Gen Z FMC in her way too overpriced downtown Omaha apartment in order to help her make rent.  Both MMC and FMC were the hottest two people on the planet and super fancy, yet super relatable because they had cats.  They drank copious amounts of alcohol and ate a lot of pizza and ice cream.  Oh, and they also made a crap ton of money busting up weddings.

Weird premise + annoying MCs = me wishing I could get a refund on this book.  I’d enjoyed this authors Mr. Wrong Number series so I picked this up thinking it’d be a nice, fluffy read only to be filled with regret.
