I just couldn’t get into this book. It’s such a short book and it took me 6 days to get through it.
Every time I picked it up I dreaded it but I hate not finishing books. I AM glad I finished it, it had a cute ending.
The women were funny but also annoying - I didn’t like how they were written as if they were never gonna be happy without a man.
I also didn’t like how they when it was never consistent on the names - sometimes it was Mrs. whoever and sometimes their first name. I kept getting confused and had to go back to the chart in the front of the book.
I wanted to like this so bad but it was just not it for me. I hope other people enjoy the book though because the synopsis did excite me.
