Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.
DNF at 33%. I liked the premise and hated the execution. The writing is pretentious and annoying, and the writing is, unfortunately, the main thing the book relies on.

This was exactly what it says on the tin: a funny, over the top romcom with the most ridiculous premise I've read so far. There were moments I laughed so hard I cried, there were moments I cringed and wanted to drop the book, and there was a lot of movie references thrown around. TBH it's more like a three-star book, but I had fun and that's what counts the most.
