A review by alliereadsthings
Dear Wendy by Ann Zhao

2.5

This read like a first draft, where nothing was elaborated on and none of the characters felt fully developed—which is a shame, because it had So Much potential. Also, for being a book about college freshmen, the way the characters talked and acted felt dangerously close to Middle Grade, but they also sounded like chronically online internet users (derogatory)??? Idk. It was weird/preachy and, in some parts, unbearably cringe (and I say this as someone who was, and still is, chronically online). The whole thing just felt like it was missing something. Alas 💔
