I hate it that I didn't like this book more. It was predictable but even knowing how it was going to end, getting there was boring. I didn't like Evvie or her friends. Even Dean the boyfriend interest was boring. Other book clubbers liked…

Excellent, creative writing, although a bit slow. Great characters, dialogue. Charming, realistic, slowly developing friendship and romance.

BORING! Nothing exciting ever happens in this book. Even the romance between the characters were boring and mundane. I had to just eventually skim through the book to finish and even then I felt like I wasted my time. Didn't care what…

I really wanted to like this book. I didn’t. I really wanted to love (and laugh out loud) at the Cereal Box Race. I did. I couldn’t bring myself to care about the characters or their outcome. But the Cereal Box Race? I could see it and I…

This was another DNF for me. Just not that interesting and I couldn't get into it.

This book is adorable and is absolutely worth all the hype! Evvie's story is like a cozy, warm sweater that you will want to put on again and again.

I listened to the audio version of this book. I listened to this book on a lark and I'm really glad I did. It is not a rom-com really, so if that's what you're expecting you will probably be disappointed. In my opinion it is more of a…

Knew very quickly I would enjoy reading this book. Loved the way the characters interacted and the quick wit dialog. Romance novels are not my favorite, but there was plenty of sweet, playful interaction that had me looking forward to…

A good romance for a weekend read about two troubled people stumbling through life. The author has a clever, perceptive style.

Fairly predictable from the start.

This book has a lot of hype, but it's a pretty surface kind of growth for the characters. Evvie hides the truth about her emotionally abusive husband - girl, just tell your truths and don't worry about who believes it. Dean is okay as a…

I enjoyed the book at the beginning, but by the end I was tired of it. It was predictable and the character development was very surface--not much depth. I've read other books of this kind, and this one is just in the "meh" category for…

Liked the book but hated all the profanity. Didn't feel it added to the story at all.
