I don't know why but this book makes me feel happy.
The relationship between Julian and Ava is lowkey funny and endearing, even though they are both as plain as white bread. There is also a weird sense of hope while reading this book that made me like all the characters for their not so complex but weirdly complex personalities.
I have come to realize that I do like short, dry, and nonsensical conversations between characters. Because sometimes in real life you just talk without actually having any weight in the conversations. Its just words being thrown around for the heck of it. And I am okay with that.
Therefore, I think that's why I decided to rate this book 4 stars.
