Hey everyone!
So I thought I would post a mid-point update. I'm currently on page 300 and I really don't know what to make of the book so far.
I don't usually read contemporaries, it's just not my favourite genre, so this book is definitely different from what I'm used to.
So far, there is literally no plot to this book, it's just Andie's summer: what she does, who she sees... And I'm finding, at least with the first 300 pages of this, quite repetitive and sort of boring. Also, I don't quite understand why this novel is so long - everything that's happened so far could have easily been written in 100 pages or less.
BUT I'm not finished yet, so something amazing may happen in the remaining 200 pages that'll make me change my mind! I'm definitely hoping so because I really want to like this book... :/
How is everyone else finding it?

I liked the book, but I agree with you, Tessa, it could've have been shorter.
