This book had me laughing aloud, snapping my fingers in agreement, audibly gasping, and highlighting or underlining takeaway quotes. I went into this with an idea of what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised this book had much deeper themes to it than what can be assumed at first glance. Justin was my favorite character, I could always count on him for a laugh. I loved Eve's character development and
her standing up for herself when the moment she dreamed of finally happened - Ed saying he loved her - and instead of reciprocating, she called him out on his behavior!!
thought this book was a good balance of humor alongside grief, and vice versa. I knocked it .50 cause I felt the references to different movies and pop culture were too much at times and didn't make sense since no one was a media critic or in the media world for that matter to know all those things, and the last 50 pages felt rushed yet the ending was drawn out, if that makes sense. Otherwise, I think this book is a keeper and would read again or recommend.
