Never Google Heartbreak by Emma Garcia
3.0
I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did. While looking for children's books for my daughter, this happened to show up in the related book search because of Emma Garcia's picture books. I gave it a try but expected it to be something I got through quickly and never thought of again. Instead, I was sucked in by the characters of Viv and Max and I wanted so badly to know more about their lives.
The book isn't perfect. Viv is at times unlikeable (but aren't we all?) and Max doesn't really seem to have any personality flaws, he's all charm and starving artist. Posh Lucy, the best friend character, seems unbelievable at times. Most of the other supporting characters are well written and interesting though. Overall though, none of the writing flaws I found took away from my enjoyment of the book and I think it was a good first attempt from this author.
