Competently written, but it just didn't move me. Actually no, it did gross me out quite a bit but other than that, no.

The amount of ‘quirky' was through the roof, very early 00s peak-hipster era, before the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope got us rolling our eyes.

Also most of it was about babies and I'd never have picked it up if I'd known that.

I gave in to the hype so that's probably made the disappointment worse, overall it was an enjoyable and hilarious read. Not sure what I expected.
