That being said, the book is a poignant look at how breakups can affect both sides of a relationship, as well as how messy and complicated adult friendships can be--but worth it, because sometimes you'll find the right people who will stick with you through thick and thin.

Even if the age related bits of life weren't relatable, none of my friends are having kids after all, the part where one might feel left behind, like somehow your friends have gotten it all figured out already and dealing with shit in probably not the most healthy and constructive ways.
To top it of; I genuinely thought it was very funny. The crying didn't really happen for me until the end, but I'm not a very romantically inclined person, but I definitely had a few tears break free right at the end.
It is truly an introspective book and if you like that sort of thing, knowing characters that well and maybe occasionally being called out on patterns of thoughts, then I'm sure you could enjoy this book.
(Or, I guess, if you're thirty-five and going through a tough break up, but I wouldn't know anything about that)
