I think this one just wasn’t for me. Maybe listening to it on audiobook was distracting, as there are three different narrators. I also didn’t love the chapters where we jumped around to other characters. This issue could have also been that I read this because someone recommended it after I asked for romance novel recs, and I think romance isn’t the driving force here. Overall it was sweet and sad.

1.0

This book had so much potential, and it is disappointing that the author does not utilize it. The characters seem to follow tropes without any real commentary on how they got there.

There were no hints, or indicators that the characters are falling in love with each other, until they kiss.  It’s like they just decided it would be a good idea out of the blue.

I’m not a fan of the writing style of the characters. “ the world is mad cruel.” It sounds like he's trying too hard to appeal to teens. 

This book does not have any real discernible climax or resolution. The events seem very random and don’t follow a theme or goal. The characters are flat and seem to make decisions to drive the plot of these random events, rather than reflect good character. 

This book will not keep you up at night. It will not make you cry. However, it is perfect for making you tired before bed.
