Tbh…I only read this book for the nostalgia. I found it in a pile of books from when I was younger, and I thought it would be nice to read it one last time.
It was one of my favorite books growing up. I was obsessed with epistolary novels at the time and I really liked the extra details that make this novel much more diary-like (the doodles, photos, letters, etc). Though I will admit some of those photos were a bit uncanny. They looked like AI-generated people…like people who don’t exist. Freaky!
Anyway, I’m giving it 4 stars to be nice because I wasn’t really invested in the novel. I don’t know how many stars to give it. I was just taking a trip down memory lane lol
