I am going to write this review in fangirl language, for I feel that this book deserves it, please excuse me.
I went into the book not knowing what to expect. I originally thought it was going to be a slash between the two main girls (And boy there were some moments where I totally thought it was going to go that way (ship! ship! ship! asdfghjkl!), but it was just friendship. ). But this book gave me the feels. Sure there were times where the characters felt so un-realistic, but at the same time I could relate so much like ahhhh. I am currently talking with another fangirl on tumblr, and this made me think about the good things about being in a fandom and about the friends I've made because of it. This book shows another side of what fandom can mean to people in a way that I haven't scene in any other of the fangirl books out there.
Now, one of the biggest issues I had while reading is finding where to read. Hopefully the formatting will get better when it is actually published but as of now I wasn't able to tell what was important to read or what was there for "decoration". Again some of the graphics weren't there, which might or might not have made a difference.
Ok now it's time to talk about the ending. Man, that was just really un-expected. I totally thought this book was going to go in a different direction but nope, you just had to kill of Zach. I just feel that wasn't really essential to the story, and having that plot just jump on to you so close to the end. It just ended like that too so... I guess I wish the story would have focused on that plot a bit more? I started to cry at the end when Finn and Gena (especially Gena) were just going through the endless pit of sadness. And then the book stopped.
Well this sorta turned into a rant. Sorry dignified people of Goodreads. This is why you can't let fangirls who can only rant, write reviews. Overall though, this was a good book and kudos to the authors who are fellow fangirls.
