"I was really excited about this book! I’d loved the author from another book, (speaking of which go check out his other book, Let’s Get Lost), and I had expected this to be just as good. Needless to say from my 2 star rating, it didn’t live up to my expectations. <br/>If I had to summarize this book in two sentences they would be something like: A girl becomes obsessed with a couple after her own heartbreak, as she hopes to use them to get rid of her “writers block”. In doing so, she basically forgets about everything around her, spends all of her time with said couple. (Like I said, obsessed.) <br/>I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone, mostly because I thought a majority of the book was the main character hanging out with Iris and Cal (the couple), panicking about the newspaper column she needs to write, and pushing aside everything else in her life, including her best friend and mother. She frustrated me immensely, because she seemed very self-centered, and didn’t understand why everyone else was annoyed with her behavior.<br/><br/>TL;DR: Don’t read unless you want to be frustrated with the main character at the end."
