A review by kalliste
Gena/Finn by Hannah Moskowitz, Kat Helgeson
2.0
This took me back to my Live Journal days of the late 90s/early 2000s. It was interesting that it was how Finn and Gena (and the fandom) communicated, is it still a thing?
I liked the idea of this book. Having it through blogs, emails and messages was cool, though not really suited to the kindle version. I felt like I was fighting to turn pages a lot.
Unfortunately, the story was a let down. Finn and Gena become insta friends (not unusual on the internet), but then it feels like a lot of relationship angst is thrown in just for the sake of drama. Then an event happens that changes the entire way the book is written. And then, it just ends. So many threads are left hanging.
I still can't decide whether this is a 1 or 2 for me. I'm going to say 'it was ok' because the format was cool, but the story was a huge letdown.
