Though, I would've loved more of them together in the ending!


I think I will give the book 3 stars. Actually it`s 3.5. I don`t want to give it a 4 stars because I feel like I didn`t like the book enough to give it 4 stars. Overall I think it was a good book.

I loved the book. It was cute, funny and adorable, very on-style for Rainbow Rowell. But that ending, GOD, it was not enough! Do Lincoln and Beth get married and have kids or break up after a week? Is Beth Godmother to Jennifer's child? Did Lincoln get a new job, and if so, what is it like? It did not complete the book like Fangirl and it didn't leave anything that you could gather an interpretation from like Eleanor and Park. It just ended....... Rant over though, I LOVED IT.


I don't remember any time when Jennifer conveyed a feeling of wanting a baby. (And did the husband really prove that he'd love her no matter what? Because she conceived for him.) If you're referring to how upset she was after losing the baby, it's hard to use that as an indicator of her wanting a baby since it's such a complicated situation and we get so little information (not to mention her inevitable hormonal changes from losing the baby). Maybe you read it that way since you want a baby. Maybe I read it my way since I'd rather kill myself than have a baby. Tough call.




I think you're commenting on a different book um

**SPOILER**
I also really didn't enjoy the ending. When Beth and Lincoln make out in the movie theatre....I couldn't see that as realistic. I'm not saying it can't happen but I really just didn't see that happening and I thought it was very weird.
I really wanted to enjoy this book, if only because everyone else seemed to but I was greatly disappointed. I felt like the story was slow and took too long to get anywhere, the characters didn't really grow, the relationships seemed like props and so I gave this book one star. :(
