This book has a lot of important things to say, and while I can’t speak on those things from experience it seemed well executed. Emotionally this wasn’t as effective as it could have be. If it had been a little shorter I think the emotional impact would have been stronger. The fake dating also got abandoned too late in the story. I was very aware of where it was going so the foregone conclusion seemed drawn out. I also wasn’t crazy about either of the couples that caused the fake dating scenario. This book bit off a lot and I think with a few less character elements the story would have felt more cohesive and concise. 400 pages seemed a little long and could have benefitted from some tightening. I will likely read more from David Yoon if the synopsis interests me.
