I kept trying to write this in a way that wouldn't give anything away, but I can't say what I don't like about it without giving away the general direction of the book. I will avoid being specific.
I really did not like this book. It wasn't the writing, I didn't see any glaring errors. It generally kept my interest although it really dragged in the last third. Those two things are the only reason I gave it two stars instead of one.
I found the naming of each chapter to be very annoying but had I liked the book in general, that would not really be an issue.
The problem was the story. I almost put this book right down after the scene in which Cat introduces her parents to Ethan and his parents because they were AWFUL - Cat's parents, that is. You do not invite people into your home and treat them this way. I don't care how "quirky" you are. You do NOT invite your daughter's ex-boyfriend to the celebration. You just DON'T do this. For some reason, after 14 years, her childhood boyfriend decides he wants her back. And her parents are all for it, and don't hide it. The only characters I didn't find insufferable were Ethan and his parents, and Jazzy, the peripheral character,Cat's business partner.
I should have put the book down, but I kept reading because I thought there would be twists. There were.. sort of... but nothing that changed anything. Honestly, I felt like I was reading a friend's series of emails to me, trying to justify her dumping someone nice. I kept wondering if this was the author's own story, with a quirky family thrown in for embellishment.
I laughed out loud once - close to the beginning, when I still had hope for the book. But once I got into the book, what I found funny at first ended up just being more rudeness.
I bought the book, but ended up deleting it off my Kindle. Just wasn't for me.
