It took me a long time to read this book. I've had it in my shelf for years and could bring myself read it as I first bought it, so I had to force myself to do it now. I didn't like the first half of the book. I felt like there was nothing going on, the characters were flat and there was no emotion. However, this changed a little once I got to the middle of the book. I became slightly more interested in what was going on, but quickly figured out where it was leading (yes, I figured out the whole shenanigans early on) and still thought it was dull and lacked action/emotion. All in all, this book was a no for me. Even though I liked the metaphors and the plot had potential, it could have bee told in a much interesting way and less pages.

The story and writing feels very mature and calming in a way, even though I don't usually like 3rd person, this isn't as bad. I do feel like, from a PR stand point, the way they are going at this contract is very much reckless. They should've never done the interview without training. There should've been a clause saying they cannot “break-up” for a few months after going public. As much as a successful story can make the company, an unsuccessful one can break it. Buuuut I completely fell in love with Jess, River, Juno, Fizzy, Nana Jo and Pops. All of their relationships were amazing in their own way. River is the ultimate book boyfriend.
