Now that the main characters are in their 30s I’ve found them to be more bearable. Dexter is finally seeing the consequences of his actions (the way he’s treated his exes poorly, or really any attractive woman he’s come across). Dude has got mommy issues I fear. He needs a woman to make him feel good about himself.

Trying to look at the things this book does right… the romantic conflict is that the two characters aren’t interested in each other at the same time. This is a much better trope than the miscommunication trope that feels easily solvable. This conflict is more interesting to read, even if I don’t care much at all for the male love interest.
