Soooo this turned out a lot different than I expected.... 
 First off: This is not your typical LGBTQ+ contemporary story and I don't think it should be marketed as such. I don't even know if Gena and Finn are gay or bi or just straight like what?? What happened here? Overall this book left me confused. 
 The first two thirds were amazing. The format of the book was something new for me and Moskowitz and Helgeson managed to imitate fandom and making online friends perfectly. That's really what online fandom is: A lot of love for the community and this one particular show/movie/book but also a bit of wank and discourse(tm) thrown in there. Gena's and Finn's friendship develops like any online friendship, being shy but also telling all of your secrets you'd never tell your real life friends. They soon become best friends and meet in real life and maybe something more might emerge. But then the thing happens. And that's when it got tiring and kind of boring for me. 
 I did absolutely not expect that last third of the book to turn out the way it did. I went into this book wanting to read something happy and fun (especially after just finishing When We Collided) but all I got was depressive and sullen, not to mention the mediocre poetry. Maybe it's because I usually read fantasy, in which the characters deal with a lot more and don't have time to dwell on things but I feel like contemporaries often focus on that one bad thing that happened for the rest of the book. And I know that's how it is in real life; you can't just get over it, you can't just keep living like before, but it still annoys me. It just ruins my mood and kills my desire to keep on reading. 
 That's why I couldn't give this book a higher rating even though I wish I could. (Also, which fangirl writes fanfiction about two male main characters without shipping them lol have you ever been on tumblr??)
