well... this was underwhelming.

i'm really conflicted about this book, but i truly don't wanna be a hater today because the author's note really touched me. even if this book wasn't for me, i still want to give the author her flowers because in terms of the topics handled, they were handled really well.

i feel like the writing style just wasn’t for me. the way the dialogue was written was quite weird and felt somewhat impersonal. also, even tho i usually love when books go back and forth in the timeline, this one just didn't do it for me. i just felt quite disconnected from start to finish, which was kinda frustrating because i wanted to love farley and meyer so bad, but i just didn't feel connected to them enough and the plot. also the third-act breakup... literally felt my eye twitching when it happened, but it ended up being resolved better than i was expecting and the ending was actually quite cute.

it's annoying because i wanted to love this SO BAD but i just felt disconnected a lot.
