4.0

 It reminds me a bit of Normal People but much lighter theme. L.H. Cosway is relatively new author for me. I have not read much of her book yet. Her story telling is more subtle and less dramatic. A Crack in Everything is a story of friendship that form between Dylan and Evelyn. They are neighbor, one day Dylan crashed into Evelyn's apartment. Literally. And their story begins. 

It was beautiful and naive romance. It touch a lot of topic about social status, hope, friendship, bully and sexual orientation. I love both Evelyn and Dylan. They both mature and have big dream. Especially Dylan. He is such a sweet and quite boy. Getting to know Dylan making me wish I have my own Dylan when I was 17 years old. 

This is a duet so there is a cliffhanger at the end. A tragedy that put their hope and dream on halt. And of course separation. I want to read the second book, but I need a moment to digest my mess up emotion right now.
