- slow start then gained a bit of momentum, but not really gripping

- plot-driven with unlikeable characters
One-Star Romance by Laura Hankin
3.5
• strongly feel the words "romantic comedy" should be removed from the description
• enjoyed this as the "women's fiction" it is
• loved seeing the story traverse a decade of ups and downs, and how they made or broke the relationships (both romantic and platonic)
• not a fan of some plot points
