I LOVED IT!I have been itching to read this book and I finally got the chance to do so. I was so sad when my ereader said 90% because I knew it was coming to an end.The story is about Finn Wilder and Hadley Beckett. (If I had to guess based on these names I'd say the author is part Irish or obsessed lol). :) They are at a cross roads in their relationship. One wanting marriage and kids, and the other wanting only to move in and not get married. Finn has a fear of marriage that stems from his beliefs based on going through the fall out of both his parents' marriage relationships gone awry. The journey that these two go through is heartbreaking, funny, sad, happy, and annoying at times because you want to just solve it for them. You would think that one was willing to give, but the reasoning behind both their arguments are understandable. They love each other so much, but always make a mess when trying to really show it and express it. It doesn't help matters much that Finn is a sports caster that has a parade of fans called the 'Finningans'. Hadley like any warm blooded female becomes self conscious and less confident, but Finn only has eyes for her.The characters of this book are side pinching, spit spewing, laugh out loud hilarious! The friendship or rather frenemies relationship between them is so REAL. We all have people in our lives that give it to you straight and they also love you enough to insult you to your face. Love Morgan and Gregory for that. Their loyalty to Hadley jumps at you as well as their perspective on Hadley and Finn's relationship. They are her ultimate supporters and the best best friends a girl could ask for.I'm gonna take a page from this book and say my own slogan about how I felt about this book: GOOD TO THE LAST DROP. Yes Maxwell House said it best. I laughed so hard I had tears rolling down my face. In other parts of the book I felt heaviness in my chest because I was so caught up in the story. And finally I shed tears for the situation that Hadley and Finn put each other through. I understand where they both are coming from because as a girl I had always dreamed of the happily ever after, but witnessing a lot of divorces I became a cynic like Finn. This is a great romance story told in a very real and funny enjoyable way. :)i highly recommend it!
