Gena/Finn by Kat Helgeson, Hannah Moskowitz
2.0
Oh man, this book had such strong potential.
The format of the novel really intrigued me - and it's what made me want to read it. It's told all through texts, emails, and what are essentially tumblr posts. Honestly, from the very first few pages it really felt like logging onto Tumblr and entering fandom drama. Not something I get involved in but I'd be lying if I said I didn't follow it sometimes. Lol. Anyway, it felt authentic. I would definitely liken this fictional TV show and it's fandom to Supernatural, again, not something I'm involved in but rather I'm on the outskirts. So yeah. Twas good.
Anyway. Yeah. Sorry I'm tired and maybe I'll rewrite this later but I just. ugh anyway
It was super fast paced in it's format, so I literally read this in one sitting. Three hours to be exact. At first I was really enjoying it but...siiiiiiiiiiiiigh. I did not like the direction it took at all. It went from light and fun to DRAMA. EMOTIONAL DRAMA EVERYWHERE
It wasn't entertaining. It wasn't exciting.
IT WAS SO FREAKING DEPRESSING. I DID NOT ENJOY IT AT ALL. It just made me so mad. I came into this book wanting to have FUN not wanting to be emotionally slaughtered. it wasn't even the good kind of emotionally slaughtered, I just wanted to be done with the book so I could get out of the hopeless, boring, FREAKING DEPRESSING story. ARRRRRRRRGH. What was the purpose behind the story?? The message the authors were trying to get across? Because I really don't know. Life sucks?
Sleep now.
