3.5

This was such an easy quick read for me I got in literally knowing nothing at all so I was expecting more action and fantasy you know but it was just a normal contemporary it was fun to read tho and I loved the idea that they both were these really famous people online but in real life they're just desperate teens. I think the author managed the topics of suicide and anxiety really well but what made me lower the rating is that I couldn't feel for the characters I really don't know how to explain it but I couldn't sympathise with Eliza or Wallace or even swoon for the romance I don't know if this is a problem with the writing or the characters themselves I have no idea. I'm not "not recommending" it I guess it's a decent book and I understand why people would love it but it's certainly not the best for me.

The content relating to suicide appears rather suddenly in the book, then reappears later just as suddenly. It is not handled perfectly, but I do appreciate that the young people affected by the events are shown attending therapy later on.

anime917's review against another edition

The first half of the book to mid part of the book was really good but the last half decided to be harmful and not good. 2 stars
