 I had high hopes for this book after reading "don't read the comments", but it didn't live up to my own hype. There were some cute moments that I really enjoyed but also a lot of moments I didn't. I thought the beginning was very slow and the characters didn't interact enough. There were a lot of inside the characters' thoughts moments and not enough dialogue and interaction. Towards the end of the book, when the characters started interacting more and more, I started to enjoy the book more. I wish the rest of the book had been like that. I thought the pinball obsession was an interesting character trait, but it did get a bit boring after a bit and it did seem to be one of Adam's main personality traits, which wasn't good. Overall it is a cozy winter read and I suggest checking it out and forming your own opinion because it does have its moments.
