ALL THE STARS!!!
Adorei, adorei este livro. Muito provavelmente por me identificar com as personagens principais. As interações entre elas no início da história são, sem dúvida, muito semelhantes às interações que ocorrem entre pessoas na internet que partilham do mesmo tv show ou fictional characters; parecia que estava a olhar para algo que outrora disse acerca das minhas personagens preferidas.
Recomendo a todos os fanboys e fangirls por aí.
Mas não foi só por este aspeto que o livro leva 5 estrelas da minha parte.
A história lida, também, com assuntos mais sérios o que contribuiu não só para o enriquecimento da história, mas também das próprias personagens.
No fundo, mostra que uma simples relação iniciada pela internet pode tornar-se tão verdadeira como qualquer relação na vida real. No final do dia, pessoas são pessoas quer estejam à nossa frente, fisicamente ou atrás de um ecrã.

He breathes, accidentally, and keeps going. »

Holy shit I loved this. So unique and lovely. Fandom and internet friendships, love story and grief and mental illness--this book touches on so many messy things and touches on them so damn well. I just really, really loved this.

It was okay, I don't really have that many options about it to be honest.

The format of this book was nice, but because of it, I felt like I missed a lot of how the relationship between Gena & Finn actually developed. Everything just happened really fast all of a sudden and I wasn't really able to get attached to the characters. The ending of this book was really moving though and I loved the writing. I just thought the switch from being a light and funny book to one that deals with serious issues was a little too rough.
Spoiler
The actual end was also way too fast for me. I normally appreciate open endings, but this one was just unsatisfying.scarlettdowd's review

I received a free ebook copy of this from NetGalley for the purpose of review.
Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling this one. By about a third of the way through I was asking, "do I want to bother finishing this?" And took that as a very bad sign and decided to put it down.
Mostly it was the portrayal of fandom. It wasn't inaccurate, exactly... but no offence, the first third had a lot of the type of fangirling that gets old after a while. Or maybe it was just a bit too much capslock for my tastes.
Either way: I didn't hate it, but I wasn't liking it enough to bother to go on. To each their own; it isn't to mine.
