I’m surprised at the visceral reaction I had to this book.
There were a few things that made this book awkward: inauthentic, simplistic dialogue that ranged from embarrassing to stilted, boring and childish characters, anti-climatic “mystery”, really uncomfortable commentary on “romance”. This lacked the hallmarks of what makes a good slice of life book and I just couldn’t gel with it. It’s also super boring: I’ve read 300+ page books in less time than it took to read this.
