Analee, In Real Life by Janelle Milanes

You can see my full review here!
*I received an eArc of this book from the Publishers through Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review*
Things just started to spiral in all aspects: characters, conflict, romance, etc. For a Contemporary, the book dragged quite a bit... but I guess it also didn't help that I wasn't a big fan of the love interest.
I don't know if it was the author's intention to make him indecisive, but the ending gave me mixed feelings. I liked the way Analee handled it, but then again, my affection for her went downhill over the course of the story. Analee was relatable in her insecurities so the message of acceptance of yourself as you are was nice. Yet, her emotions tended to flip from charmingly snarky to unexpectedly passive-aggressive at the drop of a hat. So while I appreciated her, I didn't really like her. I'm just a bit disappointed.
08/12-- Just keep letting me down
