Dang it this book was stinking cute. I really enjoyed the complexity of the plot, it felt more just like someone’s life story than something you would chart. That said, the ending was rather abrupt for a contemporary fiction book over 400 pages, and
Overall still fun and complex and hard to put down.

I enjoyed this book, it’s not what I usually read however I like Rainbow Rowell’s writing. Some parts are kind of cringe and I really hate how a straight girl writing about a gay relationship is seen as deviant and interesting. It felt kind of mlm fetishy especially coming from a female writer. I really enjoyed how Cath and Levi’s romance bloomed and I loved some of the romantic parts, Rowell writes romance so well :-)
Overall a very interesting but cliché book.

I did not consider the above factor in my rating, though if you plan to read, please borrow from your local library.
- Creative twin naming conventions
- Roommate Reagan: yeah she does call Cath pathetic, but at the end of the day this girl is ride or die. At the expense of a few taunts, I would room with her too!
- Sister sister: As someone who knows two sets of twins, the writing was accurate. Trying to be your own person while there is a copy and paste of you walking around (and let’s be honest everyone has a favourite twin)
- Harry Potter satire (especially fans of the 4th movie know what I’m talking about)
- Fun author professors who are role models and mother figures
- The user wannabe author getting what’s coming to them
- Unrealistic boyfriends in Contemporary fiction
- Outdated 2012 cringe references (TW: K*yne)
- Cath is starting her young adult life out, but the mistakes she makes are dumbfounding. P.S. If you are given a second chance at uni, you take it!!
- Reading fan fiction aloud. WHO. DOES. THAT.
- An assignment done the night before receiving top marks. That is a bunch of BS, professors can tell.
