It’s a soft book that would probably have benefited from being longer. Everything happens in a weekend – which I can understand, since that’s how long most conventions are – and it feels a bit rushed. You get everything thrown at you at once. I don’t feel like I had enough time with the characters to get to enjoy any of them, even though one of them is very similar to me.
I wish it had been more of a SDCC kinda con (which I thought it was gearing up to be, with where it is and all the star sighting), going on for a week. I think it would have given more time to flesh out the characters and their relationships.
I also didn’t love the aphobia in there, but I’ll let it go since it’s an older novel.
Cute, but I wouldn’t reread it.
