Gena/Finn by Hannah Moskowitz, Kat Helgeson
5.0

Read as part of the PopSugar Reading Challenge 2020, to fill 34) A book you meant to read in 2019.

Solid 4.5, close enough to a 5 that I felt comfortable rounding up rather than down. I really enjoyed this book. As someone with a lot of experience within fandom spaces, and especially with friendships that form as a result of those experiences, this was super relatable without being overly cliche.

I liked that both main characters had clear, distinct voices, and that it felt believable in the epistolary format. Too often, epistolary novels involve a lot of blatant recapping of events in letter form, and I found a refreshing lack of that in this. It broke my heart a little and I found myself wanting more from the relationships in the text, but overall, this is a very well-written encapsulation of what the pacing of fandom friendships can be like.
