3.25 AVERAGE


3.5 stars

A cute story but so predictable. The most unique thing about it was the main character. I was really disappointed that the author went with such cliche plot devices. A fun read, but nothing amazing.

4.5 stars??

J'ai beaucoup aimé cette histoire tiré d'une histoire vrai. L'alternance des points de vue était très bien écrit et intéressant, ajoutant un peu de suspense et donnant envie de tourner les pages encore plus vite. C'est une jolie histoire et j'ai passé un excellent moment avec Kyle et Rachel

I really enjoyed this book. It's funny how closely this related to actual real life haha. Only reason I gave this book 4 stars is because I felt like I was waiting a while for this book to start. Really enjoyed the ending. If you are a fan of Rainbow Rowell or Stephanie Perkins (like I am), you should definitely give this book a try.

In the (infuriatingly annoying) style of one of the main characters...
Plot: meh... though entertaining
Characters: bland
Writing style: like nails on a chalkboard

I appreciate the idea behind the book... but It isn't really for me.

So cute :D
dejlig chick flick man bare kan læse og glemme verden.
Hvis jeg ikke skulle have haft fornuftig sov, så ville jeg have fortsat med at læse den igår til jeg var færdig, men ak... forpligtelser...

it was really tough to put the book down..and in a very long time i read such an unpredictable book..jilly gagnon rocked it in her very first..waiting for more such

This was exactly the funny and fluffy I was in the mood for. Definitely all that I needed to bring me out of my contemp slump. Real review to come!

To be 100% honest, the only reason I added this to my TBR was because I liked the title. I could tell it was going to be something about social media and although I thought it was going to be supremely "dated" later, I knew it would be intersting.
Rachel and her friend play a game on a social media site all the time where someone takes a picture and tags the other in it. So it's just a routine thing when Rachel does it again, taking a picture of a really cute guy. But the this time everything is different. Mo "re-Flits" it and people begin "re-Flitting" it like crazy. And by crazy I mean like 30,000+ people. Told in the alternating points of view of Rachel and Kyle, you get to see what it feels like to be "Flit" Famous.
I really loved the way it was centered on social media . I know I said it would date it, but that's only because I didn't know what it was about. This one isn't actually about any specific site, but rather one Gagnon made up. To me, this makes it easy to be relevant, without having to make sure that site stays around. The inclusion of social media and the hastag in the title will bring teens (or big kids at heart like me) to this book.
However, I wasn't a fan of the characters. They were of course good enough to keep me wanting to read the story, but I didn't like them. Which is weird because I'm normally a character driven reader, but for some reason I didn't mind with this one. Anyways, I wasn't fan of them because I just don't believe that ANYONE is as oblivious as Kyle and NO ONE is as judgey as Rachel. (Especially when she doesn't like that she's being judged.)
As for the plot, it was entirely predictible. And by entirely, I mean everything. I knew what was coming and I was from the outside looking in. I'm not sure how the characters didn't lol But I was ok with that because that's what I wanted at that time. I was in the mood for a light and fluffy contemporary romance and it delivered that for me.
And last, *SPOILER* I could have dealt with a little more of them together since it was a contemporary romance. They were either against each other, fighting, or not together. It would have been nice to see them get a "5 months later" or something. Anything to show that they may have worked.
I'm a huge mood reader and this was exactly what I was in the mood for for Valentine's Day. I needed something cute and adorable and this fit the bill. Thank you Gagnon for being just what I needed.

All I have to say is SO FREAKING CUTE!!!
