4.0

I read this book first when I was about 13/14, and I only now realized that I never finished it back then. It always stuck with me for its original premise. Reading it as a 24-year old though meant that for the first couple of chapters, I couldn’t help but feel that the writing was a bit amateurish, the plot predictable, and the characters flat. However!! As the story progressed, I got sucked into the narrative all over again. If that isn’t successful writing, I don’t what is! Is reading this a bit of a guilty pleasure? Absolutely. Am I enjoying these teenagers’ cheesy love triangle and questionable decision-making and ridiculous fascination with blue eyes? Absolutely.
