3.0

The main character, a romance-novel-loving romance author, has a second chance at love with her college boyfriend. It's self-referential in a way that makes you smile, and while a lot of the events are predictable (I saw the cause of the third act breakup very early), the predictability doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the story. The characters are funny, quick-witted, and relatable. At one point, I even wondered if the author had met me because of how I bonded with the main character. Definitely recommend if you love a good rom-com that can make fun of itself.  If Scream were a rom-com, it would be this book.
