The first part of the story annoyed me incredibly. Especially Penny seemed very selfish and just tended to make me frustrated for no reason what so ever. After a while the story does get more engaging. I must say that some aspects seemed force. I would also and Sam as a character was quite simply the one better written out of the main two.

"Some people’s coping mechanisms were all about festering and secrecy and ruminating until you grew yourself a nice little tumor in your heart with a side of panic attack. Different strokes.”

Pretty enjoyable book to read. It's about Sam and Penny, who met in a not so cute way and after that they begin to text all the time. Their relationship is based on texting and they rarely meet irl, but are there for each other all the time. 

This book is told in dual perspectives, switching between Sam and Penny each chapter. I love that the romance is not focused on flirting all the time, but through their relationship and their texting, we get to see each characters' struggle. Like other Mary H.K. Choi book that I've read, the characters are flawed but in realistic way.
