So Much Closer by Susane Colasanti

1.0

Besides this, I've read Colasanti's [b:When It Happens|781046|When It Happens|Susane Colasanti|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1268350521s/781046.jpg|767067] and [b:All I Need|16034187|All I Need|Susane Colasanti|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1350954982s/16034187.jpg|21805660], and this one was definitely better than those, but it still wasn't for me. This seemed less stupid than the others, but it still had its fair share of stupidity.

I felt like it was a little too preachy and obvious. It was like like Colasanti was being way too clear that she wanted to teach her readers that it's stupid to have your world revolve around boys and that you should focus on yourself and your future instead of relationships. So it didn't feel super genuine to me.

I like romances, and this really wasn't a romance at heart, which is misleading because the premise definitely leads you to believe it's a romance.
SpoilerIf she was supposed to end up with John, that's fine, but literally the most we got was hand holding in the very last sentence, so clearly romance wasn't a focus of the story even though it was at the beginning, which made it feel lopsided.
