Was the cover with the dark haired dude with tattoos the reason I was drawn to this book in the first place ? Maybe. I am a simple woman after all. The writing itself was easy, witty and funny at times. I loved the chemistry between Marina and Lucas. Lucas' charm definitely came through and I was *not* mad about it. I also loved Marina's friends. A lot of great women. Definitely enjoyed the setting and would have loved to read more about women in tech/coding/development. My biggest issue, however, was Marina's mom. Seeing that this book was under 350 pages, there was definitely enough room for a good and, in my opinion, long overdue confrontation with her mother about, well, everything really. Every time Marina's mother came into the picture via a phone call, conversation at dinner or some flashbacks, it made me irrationally mad. Telling your daughter that some people are not made to lead? Freezing eggs as a birthday present because Marina wasn't married and didn't have kids yet at age 30? What. Would have also loved just to spend more time with the main characters with maybe text messages or emails. The pacing of the book was rather fast and it didn't really hit me until like the last third of the book that the whole plot took course over several weeks. I also while writing this remembered Adam. His presence was pretty constant throughout the book but even with him we never got an actual closure. The hater in me thinks the way it was handled was very adulty. The emotionally invested person in me wants more drama. Using phrases like "take me to bed" were also rather a choice and reminded me of some 1900s historical romance book. Over all this was short and sweet! Really nice for a quick read.
