This was an ok read but there were some weird things about it that didn’t seem right to me. For instance I get that Zoe May is trying to write about someone living in New York but there were too many British terms and references used that Americans would never use.

Aside from those there were a few other problems like Polly thinking Derek was an old creep and then crushing on a guy around his age. Guess Olly isn’t a creep because he dresses like a twenty something hipster despite nearing 45? Ok.

Also I have to wonder if Polly always dreamed of going up the Statue of Liberty why hasn’t she done that in the many years she’s lived in NYC? Makes no sense. Surely if this was her dream she would have gone straight up on day one.

Overall the concept was cute but the execution was not good. There was really not much likable about the main characters Polly or Olly.
