I was really excited for this one and it fell short. 

Things I liked:
- no third act breakup 
- Rafe?? Super hot, super smooth, super cute 
- the quiche scene? Yes absolutely 
- the blurb on the cover was genuinely funny 
- I enjoyed the beginning 
- really cute and amazing mother-daughters relationship 
- amazing, successful, single mother

Things I liked not so much:
- this book would’ve greatly benefitted from a round or two more of editing. There are typos, missing words, and grammatical issues that take away from a really fun story
- writing felt kind of flat at times, wish there as some more dynamic sentence structure
- forced back and forth dialogue to provide backstory and move the plot along 
- scenes and chapters rarely felt complete 
- would benefit from more show, less tell; pretty much everything was just told 
- no transitions, scenes just felt kind of forced together 
- definitely times where I was confused 
- literally said “ha what” when all of a sudden it was three years later in the epilogue 
- went way too fast for me

I overall just think it was underdeveloped. Conflicts were introduced and resolved on the same page, facts and moments that could’ve been developed really well were just mentioned in passing. I was left wanting more, but not in a good way, and I think most of these issues could’ve been resolved with more editing. 

I will be reading Xeni, however. Rebekah did leave me interested in Xeni.
