Noticed Me Yet?
by Anyta Sunday
I decided to give this novella a quick read after one of my GR friends told me this was her favourite work by Sunday, and I am very glad I did! ;)
It was short, but sweet.
This had quite an interesting mystery plot going on, where the MC, Jacob, tries to determine who he has been exchanging anonymous notes with.
This was fun and engaging, although I do have to admit that it was fairly obvious early on who this person (Mr. X) was going to be.
I don't think that was particularly bothersome, though, because the fact that Jacob was still completely in the dark was what made it fun.
I honestly don't think Jacob ever voices who he thinks his mystery guy will be or even who he wants it to be, which I thought was an interesting choice by the author.
I thought the overall vibe of this novella was light-hearted and cute, but I do have to admit that I was missing a bit of an emotional connection.
I never quite felt a real bond with Jacob, which was a bit of a shame. I did think he was fun to read about, but he could have had more personality and depth.
His relationship with Mr. X was also once again fun, but not particularly profound. They just had some light banter with the possible potential for more. I don't think this novella ever really shows us the more part, but that's okay. There's not always a need for that. I guess this novella could actually be best described as a very prolonged 'meet-cute', and afterwards... who knows how it will go?
In the end, I definitely think this novella was hurt by the fact it was so short and thus, didn't have the time to properly develop certain things, but I do still think it was a very fun read and 100% worth it considering the minimal amount of time it will cost you to read this.
