Emergency Contact question

No I definitely understand where you're coming from! I felt like the plot was kind of weak and not a lot happened? I liked the idea of the book, but I didn't become very invested in any of the characters. The very end of the book when they meet up in her dorm felt too anticlimactic. I wanted like sparks and fireworks for when they finally got together. It was definitely cute, but I think I just hyped it up too much in my head and was expecting more. I think I gave it like a 3.5 star rating. Ugh. Cute story cute characters, I just wasn't emotionally invested.

I read through this halfway and had to stop. I could not connect with the characters at all and I was just waiting, flipping each page for something to happen but it never did. I tried my best to push through it but it almost put me in a reading slump.
