So, I just realized, all Emma Mills books have pretty much the same format and I don't mind one bit. I really, really love her books. This one in particular was so funny, I was literally cracking up multiple times. It was also sweet and the romance made me fucking cry (and barf).
What I didn't like here was a ‘trope' that was brought in, which is forced misunderstanding just for the sake of angst. Thankfully, it wasn't really drawn out. SpoilerAlso, is it really plausible that a famous boy band member would attend your high school radio interview? I think not.
Bottom line: I'll definitely be picking up whatever Emma Mills writes for the rest of eternity! (coz of course I'm immortal & so is she)
It hurts to say it but this is my least favourite Emma Mills book.
I mean, I don't really regret reading it but this wasn't that good. While I wasn't bored with this, at some points I just felt nothing was really happening. It had some surprising twists that were great for shock value and...pretty much just that.
Also, some of the characters weren't nearly explored as much as I would've liked. AND at some points this book gets cringe-y and holier than thou. I personally didn't agree with some of its ‘‘philosophies'' .
Now this is starting to sound like a hate review which it really isn't, trust me. I'm just disappointed.
Signature Emma Mills writing shone through in this one (lmao calm tf down hoE, you've only read one other book of hers).Â
AAAHHHHH I REALLY LIKED THIS
I love this book to the moon and back. The mental illness rep is just...chef's kiss. Eliza is such a relatable character for so many different reasons. I loved the web comic, the writing, the characters and the relationships between them (also internet friendships!!! my heart is soaring!!!). The family dynamic was really realistic, at least to me, who pretty much hates her family lol.
What I didn't like was how Wallace acted in the last act of this book. It really drove me mad. Fuck that shit. I was really rooting for him up until he went ahead and pulled that BS :/
