Andy and Jen have broken up and he’s a mess. He can’t wrap his head around how or why she suddenly and simply stopped loving him. And his friends have all moved on to that next life stage, the one he was hoping and expecting to enter himself. If he can just get her back and/or figure out what went wrong, he can un-disasterify himself. I must say, it funny to watch him try.
How refreshing to see a man floundering. We’ve got books like “Really Good, Actually” that capture this so well from the woman’s perspective, and it was nice to recognize that men can be hysterical too. The final chapter was absolutely brilliant. It flips the idea of a relationship on its head in more ways than one. There’s more than one to be happy when it comes to romance and family – it should not look the same for everyone and it’s so nice to see society starting to catch up to that concept. This book is about finding yourself and what you want, but maybe it’s also about standing up for yourself once you’ve found it.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
