I bought an ebook copy of Gena/Finn on a whim because it was on sale but when I finally started reading it, I couldn't put it down! The book is about Gena and Finn who meet online because they belong to the same fandom. As their offline lives get messy, they get closer to each other. I, personally, didn't completely understand the nature of their relationship. At times they seemed to me more than friends but towards the end, that attraction kind of dissipated..This also led me to wonder whether both characters were bisexual.
The way the book was narrated through blog posts, journal entries, texts, and the like was refreshing. I particularly liked the sections of the book that consisted of messages exchanged between Gena and Finn. I found their interactions quite interesting because they're two characters who are at very different points in their life. Gena is going to start college soon and Finn has finished college but is now struggling to get a job. Both of their struggles felt very relatable and I was rooting for them to get their damn happy ending....which is why the ending of Gena/Finn really disappointed me. The plot twist was shocking and alright, in some ways, maybe it did make more sense for Gena/Finn to end the way that it did.....but arrgh.
TLDR; Gena/Finn is a must read!
