I am so disappointed in this book! I really loved Emery Lee's other book, and was so excited to read Meet Cute Diary. I really couldn't get over the main character. He was so entitled, privileged, and spoiled. In terms of character growth, there is none. He was a huge hypocrite as well. The same issues he had with his brothers girlfriend he just overlooked in his own relationship. I also didn't like how he ended up going from
one relationship to another. I would have liked it more if he realized he needs to grow up and mature, and take time for himself.
It felt like Lee was going to have a plot point with Drew being behind
the push for the Diary to be more relationshipy, but that kinda just got dropped.
There's a lot more I didn't like, but I don't want to spend any more time thinking about this book.
I would NOT recommend this book. I would never guess in a million years that this is the same author who wrote Cafe Con Lychee, a book I loved.
