The Pairing by Casey McQuiston
1.0
that one review that wondered if this was ghostwritten? yeah....
so maybe you can blame me. I did not like the premise of this book. a competition between exes (strike one) on who can sleep with more europeans (like 3 strikes in one)? that literally sounds awful! BUT I was less than interested in One Last Stop (5 stars) and I didn't even want to read I Kissed Shara Wheeler because it sounded like Paper Towns which I dnf'd (but again, 5 stars).
CMQ usually writes books with premises that I don't care a lot for, but writes them in a funny and heartfelt way that makes me love them. I got the heartfelt, but where was the funny? it's not even that the jokes don't hit. there just aren't any jokes. I got like 1 joke every 70 pages and I thought this was a romcom!
tl;dr: I can't stop thinking about European STDs
