helloserena's review against another edition
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
2.0
I really liked this initially but had to slog through the end. Birdie freaks out after having sex with Daniel one night, and runs off. They are reunited when she ends up working at the same hotel as him, and they agree to work together to determine the identity of famous author who is a regular guest at the hotel.
Birdie's naviety and apprehension about dating annoyed me but felt realistic for a sheltered girl navigating her first relationship. I appreciated how this book dealt with mature themes - Birdie has narcolepsy and Daniel is deaf in one ear due to a previous suicide attempt .
It felt like the plot stopped progressing to focus on their relationship and respective families, which only makes sense after the final reveal. This hinges on Daniel not telling Birdie that he suspects and later knows that [major] the writer they've been following is his absent father - which I didn't like and I was surprised Birdie got over it so quickly.
Overall, a perfectly fine novel that I probably would have enjoyed more if I was younger.
