I had high hopes for this book.. It's written by an actual couple who met in college, that sounds like a recipe for an amazing rom-com, you would think. Sadly, this book fell very flat for me.
While I am not the biggest romance reader, I do appreciate a cute rom-com from time to time.
In this case I just did not care enough about the characters. Both of the girls were very annoying to me in the beginning, thankfully this wasn't a big problem as I continued reading. I also could predict the major events, which just made me feel like I was wasting my time reading.
Instead of fully DNFing this book I decided to skip parts until I found something interesting to read.
What I really appreciated was the time spent on family dynamics. While the drunk parent has been a bit played out in the romance genre (imo) I thought it was really interesting that Molly has conversations with her mother about their heritage and how it effects them differently.
I think if the book had focussed more on their families and not a DUFF remix I would have enjoyed it more.
The reason I gave it three starts is because it's not a bad book, it's just not my taste.
