I liked this book okay plot-wise, but I got very tired of Chuck's fragile masculinity. The amount he obsessed over not being to buy Portia "brand name clothes like her rich shitty ex-husband" was literally the most boring character flaw I could possibly imagine.

I was also very confused every time they mentioned "Portia's feminism" because it was really only referenced as an annoying thing that the men in her life had to deal with, or something she "put aside" in order to enjoy the problematic things she loved.

But I never saw her actually do or think or model any kind of behavior that actually felt feminist? Which is fine, because not all women in books HAVE to be feminists but then why did they keep referencing it like she was one?
