Tbh it’s the one star reviews that had me sold on this. I love the unique format. Why? Because it’s super cool. You can’t help but read it and think of all the time and effort that went into them delivering this story to you. It’s fun, romantic, and you can’t help rooting for the protagonists. It’s a heartbreaking but beautiful story. The characters have so much dimension to them. I’ll admit I was skeptical when I flipped through it and saw the sheer amount of effort it would take to read. But in the end it didn’t matter as I read it in a few short hours. Truly amazing piece of not only story telling but art. And I will for sure try to get everyone I know to read this. Okay maybe not everyone but definitely my high school aged brother.
