If you like YA romances you will like this book, probably love this book, as most people do, this book just isn’t for me. I don’t like YA romances anymore, or at least most of them
The novel is essentially about a girl, Cath, who loves to write fanfiction and she falls in love with a guy.
This used to be one my favourite novels when I was younger and used to like YA romances. Now I just think its mediocre. I love books that have philosophical meaning and intent behind them or they try to do something interesting on top of having an amazing world, characters, and/or plot. I just don’t like YA anymore, if the book has no unique meaning or looks at YA life from a different angle, then the story and characters alone just don’t cut it for me anymore. I just don’t like how YA books are written, structured, and how characters and plot a presented/developed.
The only thing this book argued was that fanfiction is literature (I actually agree), everything else about the book was typical of a YA romance.
The book is just cliché and the target audience of the novel want it to be cliché and predictable. This book didn’t disappoint me, it did what it is supposed to, have two people fall in love and that’s it. It’s just not for me
