Not the Girl You Marry

I wish I'd liked this more, but How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is both classic and has aged quite poorly, so this doesn't feel original enough, and then you have to spend most of the novel reading about the two main characters not being all that nice to each other! There are some good bits about female friendship, workplace assertiveness, racial identity development, etc., but I wanted to enjoy these characters more than witness them sort of torture themselves and each other.

It was fine, I guess? Not bad, but Hannah's reasons for the relationship at first were so poorly explained I had to restart the book from the beginning because I could not remember them. Also, I am extremely over descriptions of what the male lead's genitals are doing at any point that's not a sex scene, and even more over personifying said genitalia. I like the writing, and I'll read the next one in this series for sure, though.
