It’s my dad’s book and I tried it but don’t feel as though the genre suits me or my preferences.

This book was mundane that lacked substance in many areas. Essentially, Emma and Sean kiss but she’s John’s girlfriend then John immediately dies after they kiss and then it’s just a LOT of whittling on as well as pretty horror characters with even more horton character development. To say there is any character development is pushing it. Essentially, John dies, she battles with grief then gets with Sean and in the end they essentially tell each other they’ve always been in love despite her having been with John since they were like… 16?! Yeah. The book got another star purely because Palestine was mentioned. Free

It was a quick read, meaning it did move through quite quickly but as someone who hasn’t really read in a while, this book was the solid introduction I needed back into reading and I would recommend it to anyone else in the same boat. The story is light-hearted while also covering very serious but very normal topics in day to day life and I’d say, it’s an enjoyable read too. Love this book!

This books was cozy and warming, if not a little cliché, but no one reads these kinds of books not expecting them to be cliché. The fact that he said he actually liked her (which was pretty obvious to all but Olive) in the most insubstantial moment was so sweet and set a good tone. I liked that there was no ‘we need to breakup’ moment but they are mature adults so that kind of makes sense. All in all, this was a brilliant book.

I genuinely couldn’t get through this book.

Maybe I wasn’t the right target audience or something like that but this book droned on.

I made it barely halfway and it took me a good 6ish months to do it.

I also found that their ages didn’t real match their age.

At 19 years old (well I was 18 when I started the book) I felt more mature than any of the characters in the story.

DNF unfortunately.

It was probably ground breaking at the time but it’s honestly rather subpar nowadays. So many things worth the 77p that I didn’t spend on it (thank God!)

A great sequel to the first book, but again, very quick.

It was a good book but there was a lot of repetition at times. Sometimes the MC made me want to smack my head against a wall. There was a lot of ‘Philly’ dropped in the book, to the point where it became a little unbearable. Still, a nice read.
