Gena/Finn by Hannah Moskowitz, Kat Helgeson

4.0

I really really liked this book. Didn't actually think I would, with the mix of Chats and Mails and Letters and everything like that but no "actual" scenes but only reading about what happened, but the characters were really likable and felt very alive, and I could absolutely understand how everyone acted and why. I also liked how even though it was "just" an internet friendship, there were very real problems and issues, even from the beginning, and I just really liked it a lot. The first 200 pages I laughed a lot, and then the last 100 I did the exact opposite. It's not really just a feel good book, because of what happens and then there's a lot of drama and sadness and stuff, so it really doesn't end the way it starts, but I personally liked how it was handled and where everything ended up. (And funnily enough, just a few days before I was talking to a friend about what kind of relationship I would love to see more in books, and then this book had exactly that, so that was pretty great.)
Could it have been better? Yes, probably, and also the change in tone could have gotten more warning, so it didn't come out of nowhere if you didn't expect it, but also I still enjoyed it so much, and was really in love with the story.
