Welcome to Litsy!

Picked this book up because it was epistolary. Thought it would be a breeze read about friendship. While not triggering for me, marking it so-so instead of pick because it should come with content warnings on the book - mental health, and PTSD, at minimum.

I also didn't really connect with the characters, but I feel that's because I don't read fan fic/ not part of a fandom

Well, this is a #MonthofRereads change of heart. I had so-so feelings about this YA epistolary novel that follows two fans of a fictional TV show as their bond grows and then gets torn apart by a tragic accident.

This time, I absolutely adored it. I can‘t pick out exactly what changed, but I would now recommend this book, especially if your a fangirl/boy or like epistolary novels. 4.5⭐️

Sometimes I get in a mood where I just need epistolary novels/books. I vaguely remember reading this book for my short-lived blog. I think I gave it 3⭐️🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, if anyone has suggestions of epistolary books, I‘d love to see them in the comments 💙💙

Wow. Not the fluffy read I was expecting! The description said "Gena's life gets turned upside down," - understatement! Although weightier subject matter is hinted at from almost the start, I still didn't see the tears coming ?There's not a clean wrap up at the end, but that sense of unfinished things fits the tone of the story and it's ending. I expected this to be a one, maybe two time read, but it's now on my perennial list!

Last of my book haul for a while! I have a busy life month so I need to cool it! My last book from book deposit and a used Prime find... also got lots of things for my summer secret Santa 🎅!! Yay!!

I enjoyed this, but it seemed to have a non-ending, and the plot didn't really go anywhere. Was it enjoyable? Yes. Was it a good story? Yes. Did I feel satisfied or completed at the end? No. So good story, meh ending.

Any book that promises a loving view of Fandom immediately goes onto my TBR list. Not only did this book not disappoint, it utilized an unconventional format (blog posts, private messages, text messages, etc.) to deepen understanding of the two main characters. Very quick and enjoyable read that did NOT go in the direction I was expecting.

It was pretty meh for me. Started well but fizzled quite a bit. I adore stories that are written in documents--like compiled texts, emails, documents, etc., and it worked quite well for the beginning of this book, but went off the rails a bit towards the end. Also did not care for the treatment/no treatment of mental health issues and lack of development of secondary relationships. Would give it a pass probably.

Lol this.

Gena and Finn would have never met but for their blogs for the popular show Up Below.

Gena is a recent high school graduate whose social life largely takes place online, while Finn is job hunting and contemplating marriage with her boyfriend.

When Gena's world turns upside down, only Finn can save her, and that, comes with a price.

I enjoyed it a lot and the story reminded me a bit of me and my best friend. However I'm mad for this having been marketed of it being a love story between the two. I'm fine that it wasn't but it sucks being lied to.

I'm struggling with this book. Maybe because I've lived this? Falling in love with my best friend while in a long term relationship with a man. I think I'm letting that affect me. Pros: fun layout, story moves quickly, each girl has a distinct voice, info gets dropped on you and you're like WHOA. Cons: not big into fanfic, the ending was a "wait what", the surface was scratched of falling in love with your bff but not deep enough. (Notmypic)

A sweet, fun book. It's about two girls meeting and bonding online over their shared fandom of a TV show. The story is told entirely through text messages, journal entries, etc which was pretty neat. The ending was a bit off, I think I wanted just a little more resolution. Overall, a pic. If you like this you may also like Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl and Attachments, both I adored and highly recommend.

This book is told via text, email, blog, etc and it's pretty fun!

Books returned to the #library, and books checked out. Grabbed Eligible on an impulse and I'm most looking forward to gena/finn, a YA about fanfic and friendship which sounds awesome.

This book. THIS BOOK. It drives me to drink. 😃😂😭

I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FLUFFY AND NOW I HAVE FEELINGS.

I stayed up past midnight finishing this one and that NEVER happens in my post-kid/sleep-is-precious world.

Decemberists reference!

Moving on to this for evening reading, looking forward to it! Finished Shrill and Summer Girls earlier so this is my first new start of the readathon. #24in48

This book. THIS BOOK. I don't know what to say about this book. I hope there were no pictures of me reading this book because I have no idea what I, broken and heartbroken, warmed and delighted, look like to the outside world. This book.

I'm so disappointed. I was really enjoying this book but it took a turn that got too unbelievable for me and I just...didn't get it! I am genuinely confused. I don't know. So bummed. Wah.

Currently reading. This epistolary YA novel about two fan girls is told in blog posts, texts, comments, and emails. It's pretty cool so far!

Fun bus trip reading.

3🌟The best part of the book for me was the format. I loved the blog posts, emails, and texts. The story isn't sticking with me, though. I remember the general outline, enjoying it, and disliking the ending. Overall, I'm glad I read it, but I don't really recommend it. Odd review, I know.

I was all 💜💙💚💛❤️ then I was all 💔💔💔. Then the ending had me ⁉️⁉️⁉️ Review tomorrow. I heed some processing space. Yikes!

Two high schoolers are flirting Lol! ?? Layout was not cooperating. ? The last line says "does not mean what you want it to mean". I'm really enjoying this so far. I actually like this type of format in a book.

@JessReads I first noticed this book when you posted about it here. I requested at my library, and they got it. I hope you enjoyed it since I'm starting tonight. Fingers crossed for a good book!

That was unexpectedly intense! Be prepared for all of the feelings.

This is hitting all the right spots considering that I'm having a fan girl moment when it comes to The 100. What are books for if not to work things out?

It's a slow night in the bookstore tonight, so I'm checking out some of the new YA releases. (I swear, I do real work occasionally.) I'm a sucker for multi-form storytelling, so this is the first one on my stack!

Oh fangirls ❤️ This was much heavier than I thought it would be but a good read!

I don't know...
