I'm a sucker for a romantic comedy, so I enjoyed this even though it was predictable and a little melodramatic. The main source of melodrama was Jake's renunciation of his older brother Finn. It felt to me like Jake was overreacting to pretty understandable/forgivable behavior on Finn's part. And then overreacting to completely understandable/forgivable behavior on Mia's part. But romances need drama.

I was going to give it three stars, then just thinking about the ending made me smile so I'll bump it up to four. This is a good escape into a fun story with diverse characters.… (más)

Okay. I'm so very tempted to give this book 4 stars (which it does not really deserve) simply because it saved me from a reading slump.

It's full of tropes. It's flawed. DEEPLY flawed.
Yet I loved it for those very reasons. And yes, I knew what I was getting into.
Don't get me wrong, I love my books well written and with at least some depth and layers. But sometimes I just need a little pick-me-up. Because life sucks, books disappoint, depression reigns. That's why I need something like this every little while.

Because sometimes you just need a story - not matter how bad or flawed.… (más)
