My Review: The Cover Is Pretty

UHMMMMMM. I love the idea of two strangers connecting. But this was puzzling. The ending was also quizzical. I don’t really have much to say about this book. I feel like nothing happens. It’s like if I told you I had a really exciting day, I woke up in the morning and wanted to brush my teeth but I ran out of toothpaste and then I went downstairs and met this guy who.. you’d be like OH HO HO WHAT HAPPENED?? And I said, this guy just happened to have extra toothpaste so he gave me some, and that’s all that happened. You’d be like “What the fuck, why did you tell me this story?”

Why You Should Read It

I’d give it a pass.
