Review of Not Another Happy Ending (2013) by Holly Y — 15 Oct 2013
I'm afraid the third act did not make up for the slow and messy plot that proceeded it. There were lots of elements that could have been quirky or dark comedy instead it never really commits to any of these and the interesting redemption plot line is lost in the difficult romance.
Edinburgh looks beautiful but it does fall in to the 'Richard Curtis' trap of property porn way outside the budgets of a high school teacher and a struggling writer (with no other obvious means of support). Also the Annie Hall dress sense was just weird. Iain De Caestaecker is great and I can see why he ended up to Agents of SHIELD.
Lots of missed opportunities.
