i loved the concept behind this book but somehow the execution fell a bit flat. i think part of it was because the meta story within a story wasn’t as interesting as the actual romance itself. also this felt too much like instagram love where i didn’t get why they even liked each other let alone when it started. anderson was badly developed as a love interest and the small town workings were really not that interesting at all. the discussion of romance as an important literary genre were great and the twist was good but i was disappointed by this ashley poston book :(
