ABSOLUTE FLUFF but so RESONATING.
I usually am too impatient for fluffy novels. Once characters get together it's like, okay they're together, it's a happy ending, done. So novels where it's all fluff? I usually am not interested. But this was only 19 chapters but come to find out it felt longer than that and I was ok with it. It's in kind of an anthology format, each chapter has around 10-14 sections where each are like snippets of Joey and Mr.F's lives. It was a great format for what it was trying to relay to the audience. Each snippet is either just full of joy and humor of realistic scenes in a couples' life and it was so raw and resonating. It really hit me and I don't know how many times I'd read a snippet and turn and show my boyfriend what I read and we'd laugh and relate to it.
Obviously the first thing on my mind was wondering why their names were Joey and Mr.F. Joey can seem like a name but it feels like it's not her real name. Mr. F you come to find out stands for Frank, his English name. And all the other characters, except for Hao Wu Yi are also not names, you have Female Goddess, Dorm Leader and Little Q(I'm not sure about the last one, I forgot). Her brother's name is also given (also forgot, read a few books after this before writing review lol). Wu Yi's name had to do with the plot a bit, it's relevant to her personality and their friendship. I loved that you also fall in love with all her other friends. Female Goddess and her resilience in the face of assumptions gone wrong, Little Q and her idol drama like romance (I LOVED this one.She is so vain she refuses to wear glasses so goes around blindly on her own accord. She plans to meet with a friend to get tutored and because she's blind she mistakens another hot classmate as the friend who ended up standing her up to tutoring. So she just drags him to her place and gets tutored by a stranger and says, so next week? and he begrudgingly agrees, goes home and dusts off old textbooks to start tutoring her regularly )
I would so reread this just to go back and write down all the quotes of parts I loved.
