How can best friends since childhood and now flatmates be SO oblivious to their growing attraction to each other when strangers, friends and family comment on it frequently?
Both MMC do not have cognitive issues therefore this is going to get irritating if they don't get on the same page soon

If I was a spiteful, vindictive person, this would easily be 1.5 stars. The oblivious friends to friendly lovers was trite. The third up break up made me groan in despair - understood the sentiment but poorly executed.
I left feeling that I can ditch this friend group and not give a toss.

Right? I wondered the exact same thing. It feels so forced.

Yes, totally agree! It was too prolonged and everyone and their wife commenting on their relationship yet each MMC persistently appeared baffled.I've finished it now and want to forget. I think I hate them all ( friends, extended family) and will cut them off without a second thought.
Which is a shame as I like reading books set in London with British phrasing and locations I know/ can relate to. But I couldn't abide reading another book about intelligent people behaving stupidly for no real reason.
