I feel like maybe I just wasn't in the mood or I just didn't give this quite a fair chance, so I'll hold off on the star rating and keep my review brief. 
 Basically, I looked forward to this title from the minute I first read the description online -- especially once I saw it was endorsed by Jenny Han, whose Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy is one of my undeniable favorites. 
 I guess I'm just missing the connection here. The main character is too whiny and self-loathing to be likeable. Her antagonist-slash-boyfriend is boring. I hate seeing this many random flashbacks in a book and I just really, really lost interest somewhere a bit too early to genuinely be fair. 
 When I get to the point that I don't care what happens to anyone in a story, it's time to just put it down. Life's too short to be bored by your entertainment. 
 Not to say that this is some terrible novel. I'm sure it's not. It just isn't my cup of tea this week.
