Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid
3.0
This was just average. It had a cliché John Green vibe, and it was kind of enraging, but I guess I can do a review for each story.
First, Hudson. Not that bad, just okay. The guy was surprisingly not annoying compared to the ones to come.
Bree is such a troublemaker and I don't like characters like her. Actually, I get really uncomfortable reading about them. But I guess her sister story was good, even though we rely on the dead parents story again (Hudson didn't have a mother I believe?)
Elliot was kind of cute by himself, but the whole Maribel situation drove me nuts. And it made me so angry that the guy got the girl in the end, because I think life long friendships have really few possibilities of becoming actual romantic relationships. But maybe that's just me. Also the "funny drunk people" trope no no NO.
Sonia was okay I think??? It was really depressing and maybe unnecessarily long, though. Sonia was cooking her brain with the most stupid things, and the scene in which she mentioned she felt like she was in a coffin was a big trigger for me, since I'm claustrophobic and maybe scared of death. And it all felt like a crazy fanfic, but I don't know, man.
And the last story was kind of cute. I thought Leila had a terminal illness or something that would make her lifespan shorter, but she actually hadn't. But we come back to the dead parents trope and I hate it.
Yeah well idk, I'd like to say something about the writing but I read a translated version done by fans and I'm not sure if that reflects the way the author writes. Pretty cover, tho.
