I normally like a good romcom, but this was just way too overwritten, and I kept cringing at all of the ‘witty’ carefully crafted dialogue that normal people wouldn’t actually have and made the characters sound more like people rehearsing their stand-up comedy routine for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival than colleagues in a hair salon.

I couldn’t finish it which is highly unusual for me as I take reviewing ARCs seriously. The reason I requested it was because Dolly Alderton and Emily Henry had pull-quotes on the cover and I have thoroughly enjoyed books by both of those authors. It’s possible that I stopped reading too early, so I think there’s every chance that other people will enjoy this. But I have a huge list of books I’m trying to get to and there’s just not enough time in life to persist with a book. I’m not desperate for bed time to keep reading!

Two stars for original setting and not-horrible writing.
