   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  mimji | Apr 20, 2024 |   They form a bit of a friendship at the bar and she’s still in love with him but there’s not really enough to show me why she loves modern Lucas. He’s nice enough but most of their interactions are about Georgina and other actively terrible men she encounters. She flashes back a tiny bit to how she knew him in high school but we don’t get a ton there either. There’s a lot going on about her personal growth and that’s all good and we watch her find herself and make some progress in self confidence. All good but I found myself skipping some of it and just wanting the whole thing to be over. Eventually she gets a happily ever after and I really wish that it felt more earned than it did. As I write this if I didn’t walk into it thinking it was a standard romance I think I’d have liked it a whole lot more. (  ) hmonkeyreads | Jan 25, 2024 | Tl;dr: liked the characters and the humour, mostly; didn't find myself rooting for the romantic leads to get together. (  ) siriaeve | Jun 6, 2023 | I liked the writing, characters, and setting of this story. It's a lot more about Georgina coming to terms with some of the things that have happened to her in the past than it is about romance, so don't expect the romance to be always at the forefront of the narrative. Georgina's friends are terrific and her family is believably complicated, and I found the ending satisfying. All in all, enjoyable for fans of this genre. (  ) foggidawn | May 17, 2023 | I really liked Georgina as a main character, and I adored her friends, and Robin was hilarious (as a fictional device, not in reality), and this was a lovely read.

« That’s the problem with my life: it produces too many anecdotes and not much else. »
And therein lies another problem with this book. The first half is rather disjointed and doesn’t make clear what path the story is taking. Happily, this is sorted in the second half, although I would have felt less traumatised by reveals had there been some effective foreshadowing.
