Heartwarming, Funny, and Real
I can't remember when I've rooted for a heroine as much as I did for Rachel--funny, smart, flawed, complicated, and way more fantastic than she gives herself credit for being. Inglis's style is sharp-witted and conversational, and her one-line zingers often had me giggling aloud. Great characters, fun story, and the kind of romance even my cynical self can believe in.

A must read
Jennifer Inglis is a witty, gifted writer and this book pulled me right in as the characters jumped off the pages. The story is fun, real, beautiful, funny, and so relatable. I highly recommend reading this, you won’t be disappointed!!
Inglis's novel was a delightful, realistic look at the truths and lies we tell ourselves and our friends in navigating the ups and downs of relationships of all kinds. With a razor-sharp wit and snacks in hand, our protagonist is entirely relatable, and her journey made both laugh and cringe with identifying her struggles.
