Due to circumstances beyond my control, I will not be able to review this book. I have deleted it from my system and will buy the book if I decide to read it on my own.

Thank you

4.5 stars because this was almost perfect. I haven't laughed this hard while reading in ages! This is the feminist Women's Fic I've been waiting for, with positive female friendships and a woman who isn't afraid to take charge of her needs. Heacock's debut is full of delicious voice and dynamic characters, and uniquely handles what's often an awkward and painful topic with laughter and grace. Highly recommend.

Guys... this book was so funny. I love contemporary romances that read more like romantic comedies! It makes me want to curl up and watch some of my old favorites. Book-wise, I would compare this one to My Not So Perfect Life and The Hating Game. Pretty big shoes to fill, but I think Summer Heacock pulls it off so well.

This genre is often accused of being too predictable and formulaic (I know I've done it sometimes!), so it's really awesome when a unique premise is brought to the table to switch things up. I wish I had a dollar for every time a vagina was referenced in one way or another; this book is centered around Kat's "broken" one. She has a sudden realization that it's been two years since she and her boyfriend have had sex, so she decides to give him a free pass to go out there until their anniversary and hook up. Meanwhile, she'll be working on fixing her broken parts. She quickly starts going out with Ben, a regular customer at her cute cupcake shop/bakery, and tries to turn her reproductive organs around.
I really enjoyed being inside Kat's head. I smiled and laughed so much as she tried to navigate through this particular issue. Ben was nerdy and adorable; I loved him so much. AND Kat's friends, who were central to the plot, were all excellent characters with different backstories and contributions. There are some definite #SquadGoals in the Cup My Cakes store. I loved their brutal honesty when needed and their genuine advice and assistance. There were so many funny and embarrassing moments between the girls and Ben.

I don't really have many complaints about this one. The whole thing was incredibly funny, but there were some moments where I wished the humor were toned down a little bit. Almost like it was trying too hard? Those times were few and far between, but I did notice that. Also, as much as I loved Kat, she was incredibly thick when it came to other peoples' thoughts and feelings. I wanted to smack her every once in a while.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to those who love rom-com-style books, especially if you liked the comp titles I mentioned at the top. A unique premise, nerdy-cute love interest, solid group of friends... what more could you want?

DNF - Wasn't for me, although I appreciate the author's intent with bringing awareness to the condition of vaginismus.

I really wanted to love this book, but it didn't take long for the main characters to become grating. The author seemed to take one major character trait each and double down on those to the point of irritation. That being the case, this book was WAY too long.
