I usually love a story like this with many characters I just don’t think it was executed well. I’m not interested in love squares and I’m not interested in a whole town being obsessed with the star boy and then upset that he’s full of himself

I didn’t like the narrator unfortunately- I thought she made Kismet sound like a combination of valley girl and a person who could care less.  
The ending was written so beautiful, I just didn’t love the whole book.
