When Sam and Penny cross paths it s less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touch via text and soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to see each other.
I didn’t enjoy the beginning of this book, it seemed predictable and slow and a bit too juvenile but as it progressed I fell more and more in love. Some of the dialogue stayed shoddy until the end, a little too forcibly contemporary, like imagining how an annoying young person would talk, but only some parts were like that. The book touches on a few heart wrenching subjects and problems the characters face aren’t just superficial to where you don’t care about them. My heart throbbed multiple times and I grew attached to characters so even though I think this could use some improvement, I feel like 4 stars are still warranted. It’s a good quick read that puts you in some major feels once you get past some of the annoying quirks.
