I certainly wasn't a fan. I've noticed that trend in these books were they involved around someone in the book industry. I seem to be running into books along those lines a lot. I think it would have been better if the heroine was a little bit older. The book has the feel of a YA novel. I got that feeling from the way they talk, the way they interacted with each other, and the way that everything just had to be so "with the times". Enjoyed the supernatural angle, but I did find the book extremely predictable. I did not like how it seems that the author wanted to check so many boxes of being modern. It seemed forced and not organic.
Also I know she hinted in the book that she was writing a different kind of romance, a sad romance. And that is what this is. A sad romance. I said it before and I'll say it again, if I wanted to be sad I would read the news. I like my books with the touch of ridiculousness but I also enjoy the light-heartedness. This book did not have that.
A lot of the book was boring, if I'm going to be honest. I thought there would be a tie back to a lot of the stuff that was mentioned but it was not. So many things could have been edited out. Which is funny since an editor is one of the main characters in the book. How did you not catch this?
The book takes place over the course of the week. That's not bad in and of itself, but for the fact that two characters somehow love each other! How is that possible? I did not feel like the romance was even there. I felt like there was a friendship, that's about it. Maybe best buddies? So strange.
