I‘m really so so sorry, but I couldn‘t finish reading this book... 🙈

Usually I think, that if someone spent so much time writing a book and risks so much by releasing it, you‘d have to honour that work and finish reading this book. But I couldn‘t finish it properly. I have to admit that I‘ve read a bit more than half of it but then I was just so annoyed by the main characters and the story was so long-winded that I decided to just flip trough the last pages and read for gist.

Why did the author choose Jess as one of the POVs? Can‘t understand it. Toby would have been so much more interesting than her. I thought it‘ll be the story of a woman and a man who don‘t know each other and are getting married at first sight. So why is half of the book dominated by a selfish friend‘s POV who‘s more or less wailing or lamenting about her unhappiness in her own marriage and her life in general? That is so annoying. And also boring. 

Hannah... I‘m not sure what I should think about her. She does not really know what she wants in life. She wants that marriage though she not really realizes what it means to have a serious relationship and that it‘s not just fun. Sometimes it feels like she is still a teenage girl. Not as annoying as her bestie, but nontheless exhausting.

You have to read 200 pages until you get to the point where the story itself begins, the marriage day. 200 pages of Jess-lamenting and lots of blah.

I thought it would be a funny romcom when I‘ve read the blurb but nope, so not my thing.

As I said, I‘m sorry, but I didn‘t want to spend more time on this story I couldn‘t get on with and therefore stopped reading it.
