Very readable and I enjoyed some elements, but I found the start rather trite and the end quite rushed. The misogyny was exhausting - maybe I need a break from sexism books. I did quite enjoy the cooking show scenes and I loved Harriet and Six-Thirty.

I found the fridging of Calvin quite disappointing, as it killed the relationship as soon as it was fully established, as so many stories do. Long term partnerships are so important to our lives and I feel like we never get to read about them.

I also found the awful behaviour of the boys home priests really depressing to read, and even as an atheist it felt like a bit of a brutal characterisation. The graphic rape scene at the start was also a shock and horrible to read.
