I think this just wasn’t for me. It was pretty boring, nothing much happened and I didn’t feel invested in the characters or their story. The plot moved so incredibly slow, the pacing felt off and I didn’t care about the characters; Wendell was insufferable and Emily rather cold and socially awkward. This was boring, dry and overwritten, and frankly quite disappointing after all the hype. Oh and love? I didn’t read an ounce of romance in here.
