3.5 rounded up.

I picked up this book because I vaguely remembered enjoying the other things I'd read by this author and it's probably why I didn't DNF it.

The beginning and the ending of this book are pretty good, the middle section seemed to drag on and on. It's a cute story in many ways, it's also a story with a main character that can be relatable but also kind of annoying. She's a teacher but she doesn't seem to like students and has no delusions about being a great teacher, she doesn't really have friends and the one she has she doesn't seem to treat super nicely and the one she makes is more of a mother figure, she can't seem to get over her ex or more accurately the fantasy of who her ex was (that might be the most relatable part), in short she sounds like almost every millennial I know (I am one myself it's not disdain it's being real). I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're interested in a character exploration on the heart-broken millennial you might enjoy this book.
