3.0

Did not particularly enjoy this book tbh despite the universal praise. I finally felt something right at the very end, but until then plot had been happening and I felt nothing. Well written, HUGE on video games which did not feel clear in any of the marketing I had received for it. I mean glad its another platonic love story to add to the world, but I won't be recommending it any time soon. Also it was an absolute struggle to get through the beginning with Dov. Vile man

Beginning is slow, and then it picks up.

I don't think I have ever been so conflicted about the rating of a book. 
I started reading this at the start of August, and I was just reading it for the sake of finishing it, because I hated Sadie and I found every interaction with her to be very annoying. However, I couldn't read it for three weeks because I left my ebook at home and once I came back, yesterday, I was at the 84% percent and finished it, in the IX chapter, and I enjoyed it quite a lot.

I think that maybe these three weeks something happened to me that changed the perspective, and although I still agree that it is at times slow and at other times fast, which is horrible in my opinion (nothing better than being consistent), I think I love the relationship at the end. Maybe it's what I needed. 

So, in conclusion, you might like happy endings, but the best endings are the ones that are real. Therefore, don't waste time if you know you aren't going to like it, but maybe give it a try.

Who knows? Maybe you can start liking it when there's 15% left of the book!

I put off reading this for so long and now I’ve read it I hate myself for not reading it sooner - not to be corny but I cried and I laughed and I loved and it was just so. Real
