Happily Never After

(3.5 stars)

I mean this in the best way when I say this book is 90% banter. It's funny, easy-to-read, and I had an absolute blast. Foul-mouthed, octogenarian roommates. Cute non-date dates. Quick and witty conversations.

The blurb is a little misleading. Midway through the book it turns more towards a fake dating trope than a friends-with-benefits trope (which I still love, don't get me wrong). The climax at the end is a little weak but I wasn't bored.

It doesn't have a whole lot of depth but it is a very very fun, and not at all mentally taxing. A great option for a nice palate cleanser romcom between more involved books.
