Status Updates From What If We Met In A Booksto...

I am not liking this book so far.

The plot is finally getting interesting. Still can’t get over the lack of dialogue tags though.

Why does this book have barely any dialogue tags?

I feel like the author’s writing style lacks subtlety, and it makes it annoying to read. There’s a lot of infodumping and the narration lays out the thoughts and feelings of the protags plainly. Too much telling, not enough showing. The dialogue very little body language or any non-verbal info being communicated, and the characters feel rather one-dimensional. Overall, the writing feels a bit too heavy handed.

"Without the use of devices, people didn't have room to be nonchalant with contacting friends and loved ones. Every conversation could be more intentional and precious than simply always knowing you can send a message at any given time. Why do we forgo such intentionality when we have access to those we love most at our fingertips?"

Blueberry, basil, bacon, and cheese sandwich. Interesting... 🤔 Not sure if that would taste good

"Is this love that I feel then? It has simmered beneath my skin for many seasons and flares up even warmer whenever I see Peter. My mom would tell me it is not love but infatuation. But if both are similar, how do I distinguish between the two?"

Ugh this is so real 😭
