Gena/Finn by Kat Helgeson, Hannah Moskowitz
3.0
My thoughts right after reading:
Wow. This book is just... Well, I don't really know how to say it other than I have mixed feelings about this book.
I was excited to read Gena/Finn because (a) Fangirling, duh, and (b) it's written using emails, blog posts, and text messages. Which are my FAVORITE. So you can probably guess that I loved this book from the beginning... Right until around 70% of the book.
I mean, that climax was definitely something I did not expect. So much that I thought the book just added that for the sake of a climax. Sure, it was important for a while, but then I couldn't really connect with the kind of coose relationship Gena had with Zack. So I just skimmed a whole lot of the aftermath of.
And then there's that ending. I was reading the last part with Gena's new blog post (which got me thinking "Yay! She's finally feeling at least a bit better!") and then I flipped the next page and realized that was the end of the book.
Like, WHAT.
In the end, I finished the book feeling like it should have been longer, or could have cleared things up a bit more. I really did enjoy all the fangirling scenes though. I found it very relatable and funny. :)
Will be updating this review with further thoughts about Gena/Finn sometime soon.
