Not Hallmark

 No, We Can't Be Friends by Sophie Ranald

I thought this was going to be very Hallmark, but it wasn't. I thought the book was going to focus on bad dates and finding the good one, but instead it was all about the destruction of her marriage. Literally 60% of the book was dedicated to watching her marriage fall apart. Then, she gets approached by the woman who her husband had an affair with, not her friend like she thought, and finds out the truth. She did everything right and he cheated. And it takes her a long time to realize that it wasn't her; he was horrible. He lied to his mistress too; she thought he had already divorced her. Then, she meets a good guy and breaks it off with him so she can heal, which is the right thing to do. But, she finds out she's pregnant and he steps up. I hate a pregnancy trope so I'm glad that was only at the very end of the book. I liked the growth she experienced personally and professionally. But this was not great for me. It was well written and engaging, but it was not my cup of tea and I will probably not be reading anymore from this author.
