I’m just coming to the realization the more contemporary YA stories I read, that they just don’t interest me as much as I really want them to when I pick them up. It’s one thing if it’s speculative fiction, where the plot might have fantastical aspects to keep my interest, but when it’s a story about school and adolescent drama, I really really really struggle to care.
And that’s not to say I don’t appreciate what this story is about!! I’m asexual, so I LOVED that the story focused on challenging this narrative that romantic love is the end-all-be-all of relationship goals. I loved the way this story treated platonic friendships as love stories. I really did. I just would’ve found it more engaging if those elements were explored in an adult setting.
My overall experience while reading this book, was just pushing forward so I could finish it. But I didn’t want my low star rating to skew the data, because that didn’t seem fair.
