To really love this book, you have to be able to connect to a specific element. The accuracy of awkward, uncomfortable, and stressful first love interactions are so completely accurate.

I don't know why I teared up right after finishing the book. It's not even supposed to be a sad story, but a reflection on the journey to adulthood- about first loves and the pressure to know who you are just because you turned 18.
I found the characters very lovable and to some extent relatable, especially Selin. There were a lot of great passages and I've dog-eared a LOT of pages!
Although I devoured this book in 2~3 days, I found it grueling to complete a chapter, as each chapter had about 80 pages, which made it difficult for me to remember where I stopped.
Anyway, overall -- I loved this!

This book was a slog. An excerpt from the book:
“Should I throw the dog into the river?”
“Why do you want to throw the dog into the river?”
“Seeing a river makes me want to throw something in it and I can’t throw you into the river.”
“Oh.”
“I think you don’t like to throw the dog into the river.”
blah blah blah blah. and it goes on and on and onnnnn and onnnnnnn. Do people actually like this book or are they trying to be quirky? lol. It’s honestly a miracle I finished this one. I did it for the #literallyrejects.

I really wanted to love this one but it was just SO boring??
I'm not someone who needs a strong plot to care about a book, and it had a few interesting musings, but overall I just did not care about this character or anything to do with her life or relationship.
