I Rachel Weiss’s Group Chat. This was a funny romcom that had me laughing out loud often. If you enjoy books, where opposites attract, this one is for you.

Asco es lo que me dió este libro. Hasta el capítulo 25 el libro me pareció malo porque Rachel es un personaje que cae mal es superficial y tonta, pero luego hace algo horrible que me quitaron las ganas de seguir leyendo y únicamente lo terminé porque quería ver como se arreglaría la situación y fue una mala decisión. Debí abandonar el libro.

La protagonista se burlo de una AGRESIÓN SEXUAL:

I watched as I sank to my knees and wailed (voice still shaking with mirth), “Jeremyyyyy!” Jane raised her arms to the heavens (or to the stained bathroom ceiling) and crowed, “Why did you do it, Jeremy?” And then I lurched forward and grasped Jane’s hands and gasped, as though I were saying something very secret and very clever, “Hashtag me too please!” And Jane screamed and covered her face and laughed until her mascara pooled, and we were chanting it together, clutching our stomachs at the hilarity of it: “Hashtag me too please! Me too, Jeremy!” And then I was prancing around the bathroom smacking my own ass and crooning, “Please call me hotcakes!” And Jane was slumped against a sink, exhausted from laughing, and that’s when the video stopped.

La idiota no dimensiona el tamaño de estupidez que dijo y sigue diciendo:



“No! How can they do this?” The idea of her employer seeing the video hadn’t even occurred to me, I’d been so lost in my own guilt.
“They can’t have a women’s issues reporter who jokes about sexual assault,” she said.
“It wasn’t assault, it was just Jeremy Coltrain, he—”



Al final nunca reflexionó sobre su "bromita" y sólo se sintió mal por las consecuencias, no por burlarse de una mujer que fue agredida. Hizo un estudio sobre MeToo para que su hermana recuperará su trabajo y el público la perdonara. 

“It’s about sisterhood and trauma and trust,” I continued. “It’s about how women are feeling heard and seen but also scared, wary, and tired. It’s about how, whether the crimes are big or small, whether we know the person or not, each #MeToo story is a blow to our psyche.”








Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book early.

Rachel, our narrator and protagonist, is just so frustratingly annoying. She is self absorbed and clueless yet lovable. She is very Bridget Jones like (which the author even says is an inspiration in the acknowledgment section).

This book is a fun and easy read but I found the ending quick and disappointing. I also just found the book predictable in parts and meandering as well. However if you’re looking for an easy rom com read it’s a good way to spend an evening!

Fans of Pride and Prejudice will love this updated version...and it's considerably funnier, too! Each character, including Rachel and her sisters, plus all the members of the group chat, and the various men who show up throughout the book, are hilarious in their own way. (Well, nearly every character...there are one or two to despise.) Rachel has a good heart, but poor execution, and finds herself in the middle of many misadventures...including one that seems to have set off a lot of reviewers. To that I'd say...folks shouldn't throw stones. We've all made mistakes, whether they go viral or go unnoticed, and the sisters work hard to reverse their mistakes. While romance is a theme of this book, as Rachel discovers who she is and what she wants her future to look like, it's really more about a sisterhood and making the world around you a better place.
