I had the same problem I had with Michelle Falkoff's other book 'Playlist for the Dead'. The premise sounded really cool and had a lot of potential, but the execution wasn't my favourite. It definitely was a quick read, but I feel like it wasn't substantial enough. It kept being one-dimensional. The love story wasn't a huge part of the story, but it was insta-love. Very much so. There wasn't any chemistry either. I didn't expect Blocked Sender to be the person it was, though. It surprised me. But I also didn't like how the person was described as a villain. I get that this wasn't the way to go about it, but they weren't a bad person. There just wasn't a lot in this for me. I did like that the main character had a skin problem and that was dealt with a lot. The main character was very insecure about it and always went out with make-up caked on her face. I did think that was realistic, but since I don't have a skin problem and when I have a huge pimple, I honestly couldn't care less, I find it very hard to relate to this insecurity.
