I’ve been in a book slump for the last month. My sister told me to read something light, fun and romantic to break me out of it. She was kind of right (though credit to the slumps end is shared).
YA isn’t my genre of choice, not usually. This book had a lot of great things going for it. The characters are awkward and uncomfortable and weird, and I love them for it. I feel like there were gaps in relationship progressions, but maybe I missed them. The writing style wasn’t always my cup of tea. Some characters felt flat until the last minute. I wish some plot points had been emphasized more than others. But overall, I enjoyed it. The next time I’m feeling down or in a slump, I might give it a quick re-read.
