 I thoroughly enjoyed the quirky dynamic between Gail and her ex, Max; their interactions brought a unique charm to the story. However, the structure of the book, with its long 'Parts' instead of traditional chapters, became a major drawback. The lengthy sections made the pacing feel sluggish, and I often found myself losing interest. Despite its promising start, the story struggled to maintain momentum and depth. By the time I reached the conclusion, it felt rushed and incomplete, leaving me wanting more development and a stronger resolution. While the characters had great potential, the overall execution fell short of delivering a fully engaging experience.
