nostoat's review against another edition
4.0
I am going to say something that is so aromantic but the moment this book got into the actual love plot I started caring 80% less. HOWEVER. Book MADE for me and the first part was VERY good.
Edit: I remembered a couple of things that bothered me as I was reading.
1) I was initially excited to learn that Winnie is narcoleptic. However it feels...very incidental to the actual present plot of the book. As someone with a chronic illness it really didn't feel like Winnie had a chronic illness.
2) The pacing of the book felt a little odd honestly. I think I would have enjoyed Part 1 being more like 2/3rds of the book, and Part 2 being more like 1/3rd.
However, those things did not stop me from enjoying the book! And I will still read anything these two authors write.
