   No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) bookwyrmm | May 20, 2024 |   ) bisexuality | Mar 3, 2024 | It's a fast read - I finished it in less than 24 hours and I had a full work day in the middle so that tells you something. I had to find out what happened as soon as I could. I didn't like the wacky premise of the book but I did like where it took me. Reflecting back on the relationship made me think a bit about my own and reading about Georgie & Neal's special moments as a couple made me remember what it feels like to fall in love. Rowell is good at writing quirky sweet moments that feel real. Unfortunately there's a lot here that doesn't feel so real (the writing room, her super weird family, the pug dogs) and that detracted from the book for me. It's a good quick read but I'm afraid I'm always hoping for another Eleanor & Park and this isn't quite there.
