I did not expect to cry. I certainly didn't expect to sob uncontrollably for 50 pages straight. This was fun and lighthearted and then it was DEVASTATING and then it was fun and lighthearted again. 

I honestly thought I would be able to take or leave this book, I thought the world building was clever and the prose was charming, but somewhere along the way, I couldn't put it down. The characters snuck their way into my heart. This was a fantastic novel. I don't think I can say that enough.

I had some issues with pacing and some of the character's actions, but overall I enjoyed that book immensely. It made me laugh and cry, and most importantly - it got me out of reading slump

Couldn’t get into it. I couldn’t visualize a lot of the things the author was writing about because there weren’t any descriptions.

Interesting premise and world, nice to see a You've Got Mail adaptation, but the last quarter really dragged on.
