So this book was not bad, but for me it was SUCH a disappointment. To be fair, Happy Place is one of my favorite books of all time, so I guess I should have tempered my expectations a little bit but this fell so flat for me. I feel like the characters, especially Miles, lacked the same level or depth that I expect after reading Happy Place. I also absolutely hated the third act break up premise and found it to be so unnecessarily stupid. Major miscommunication/lack of communication trope, but done terribly and I just didn't like it.
Again, it wasn't a bad book. I did like the characters overall and the premise itself was fun and cute.
