*I recieved a copy of Zenn Diagram in exchange for an honest review. 
 (2.5 stars) 
 I was truly excited to read this book. Romances are right up my alley- especially ones with, gasp! problems!- but Zenn Diagram let me down. Immensely. I can't count the number of actual eye rolls and dramatic sighs I did to myself in the course of reading this book. 
 w h a t i l i k e d: 
 Zenn Diagram did have a solid romance; I did think it was nice that they had realistic-ish problems (and problems at all), and they seemed nice together. I liked the way they met, and that they had their off days. 
 I do feel like there is potential in the writing. I know that if the writing was a bit better, I would've liked this book-but alas. (I am excited to see more of Wendy Brandt's work in the future.) 
 w h a t i d i s l i k e d: 
 Oh, boy. 
 To start off, the writing was inconsistent. We'd have more, per say, "advanced" words, but for the other 98% of this book, there would be nothing. I really can't explain it in my own words, but maybe I can with a few quotes. Quotes like this would be in one line: 
 The thing that I've always found so daunting about my visions is that I can't change the past. But maybe I underestimate how much people can change their own futures. 
 But then we'd have this a few lines later: 
 Meanwhile, my outsides and insides are equally a disaster. 
 Do you see what I mean? A nice, respectable quote that is unique to Zenn Diagram- but then, a few sentences later, a typical one that could be found in virtually any book. 
 Next, the I'm not like other girls. Oh, gosh. The gist of how Eva justified her actions is that stupid line. Charlotte, as well, was beautiful, but she couldn't be popular because she ~isn't like the other girls~. 
 Another thing: the complete lack of diversity. I can't say anything for any sort of diversity in this book. Is everyone straight? Yes. Is literally every character white? You betcha. There is no argument to defend the lack of diversity in Zenn Diagram; not even a minor character who could've easily been added. 
 I'd like to talk about Eva's lack of... feeling. She seemed to not care that her real parents are dead. I hated how she seemed to not have cared less that her aunt/mom lost someone so near to her. Eva, basically: 
 Before I forget: the oh so Relatable(tm) writing. Was I supposed to be able to relate to Eva's "mediocre" looks? Was I supposed to connect with her in the way that she only did leadership things for her applications? Zenn Diagram screams non-teen-trying-to-write-teen. I feel the author- who I have nothing against- was trying to be ~relatable~ to their readers and, ultimately, failed. 
 It also extremely annoyed me- as if this whole book didn't annoy me enough- that nothing was special about this book. Nothing. In the future, if I'm thinking about this book, I won't be remembering it for its colorful writing or imaginative characters or well-built plot; i'll be remembering it for its mediocrity. 
 In conclusion: this book is mediocre, literally no special elements; its main redeeming- if you can call it that- quality is that the relationship has realistic problems. I would not recommend to spend your time on something I don't think most people could like.
