This book was a bit of a weird one for me. I liked the first maybe third to half better than the rest. It kinda lures one in with the expectation of a w/w romantic relationship which I think I would've liked
even if the characters have a 4 years age gap (which isn't much when you're in your twenties but when you're 18 and just starting off college it might be a bit much to my liking)
in that part but the dynamics between the three characters we follow in the later part just weirds me out a bit.
That Finn chooses to marry her boyfriend and kinda thinks of Gena as a daughter(?) was just plain weird when we see her in the first part before the drama happens...
I liked that the book was told through emails, texts and other writings. That made it more enjoyable to me and multifaceted (since we got to read from more than just one perspective). Overall this story was enjoyable just didn't deliver on what I thought it would...
