But.. ultimately I felt the intensity + believability was missing. I think this was down to a mixture of their ages + the major insta-love at the start of the book. Parts felt more obviously YA than othersβ Lake felt very immature at times + the fact she was only 18 was reflected in her behaviour, whereas Will was the total opposite + I kept forgetting he was only 21. I think this would work even better if Will was maybe in his 30s and Lake late 20s.. at uni maybe?
Nonetheless, this was a sweet + emotionally charged read with great character DEVELOPMENT + I LOVED the slam poetry. It gave me major Tom Macdonald vibes ππΌ (a spoken word artist). I had no idea this was Colleenβs DEBUT novel, but on reflection can also see how much her writing style has developed in recent years.
