A review by margaretann84
Gena/Finn by Kat Helgeson, Hannah Moskowitz
1.0
Oh man. I desperately wanted to love this book. I’m a fangirl for several franchises, I’ve written fanfics (hey it’s good writing practice!), and I lovelovelove non-traditional story formats like this one. Gena/Finn is told in emails, texts, IMs, and similar formats. It sounds like it would be right up my alley.
So, so wrong.
Where to begin? Well, I always like to start with something nice, so I can say the title is a cute nod to fanfiction. When writers are posting their stories, they use a / to designate particular pairings. Subtle and sweet and an excellent choice.
Now for the not-so-good. First off, the characters were confusing. It makes sense why they might be—each main character had a real life name and online pseudonym or three.
