36 Questions That Changed My Mind About You
36 Questions That Changed My Mind About You | Vicki Grant
Inspired by the real psychology study popularized by the New York Times and its "Modern Love" column, this contemporary YA is perfect for fans of Eleanor and Park. Two random strangers. Two secrets. Thirty-six questions to make them fall in love. Hildy and Paul each have their own reasons for joining the university psychology study that asks the simple question: Can love be engineered? The study consists of 36 questions, ranging from "What is your most terrible memory?" to "When did you last sing to yourself?" By the time Hildy and Paul have made it to the end of the questionnaire, they've laughed and cried and lied and thrown things and run away and come back and driven each other almost crazy. They've also each discovered the painful secret the other was trying so hard to hide. But have they fallen in love? Told in the language of modern romance--texting, Q&A, IM--and punctuated by Paul's sketches, this clever high-concept YA is full of humor and heart. As soon as you've finished reading, you'll be searching for your own stranger to ask the 36 questions. Maybe you'll even fall in love.

This was a pretty cute, though predictable, YA romance. But, if I had to choose, I'd rather just listen to the 36 Questions musical over and over again.

Cute and enjoyable although the plot is pretty cliché. Writing style is appealing, characters - lovable. Nice quick read!

Tl/dr: study respondents who at first seem adversarial find a connection

Good:
Believable dialogue
Great premise! Based on the well known 36 questions study (look it up :))
Interesting well-drawn characters
Feels very original

Bad:
Characters don‘t feel like high schoolers

Very fast read and enjoyable but the characters read a bit too adult. #ya #yalit #romance #romancelover #humor

This YA romance took me by surprise! A bit predictable but with likable characters and a premise that worked throughout the whole book! A fast and fun read! #Ornaments #ChrismasLights #Twinkle #ReindeerReads @Jess7 #SeasonsReadings2017 @RealLifeReading #DeckTheShelves @JoeStalksBeck @Tiffy_Reads

I loved the format of this book, epistolaries are the best, so even if it's only in part, I'm a fan. Also love when there are drawings and such incorporated, so A+. I liked the premise from the start and it was a nice, kinda cutesy journey.

When Hildy and Paul sign up for a university psychology study, they are motivated by some quite different things! But through the course of their questioning, and an unfortunate incident with a fish, we begin to delve into two characters with complex family lives and diverse personalities. The layout is structured more like a script in places, and at times the plot is a little sparse between the major reveals, but an overall enjoyable read.

Very good. Enjoyed it start to finish. Characters were well developed. Loved the concept of two strangers using the format of 36 questions to see if they are compatible. Easy to read.📖📚

Thank you #Readersfirst for the copy.

The format of this probably won't work for everyone (It's like reading a script rather than a novel) but I absolutely loved it. The dialogue was brilliant and I found myself laughing my way through from start to finish. I would have liked the MCs to be a little older and I wasn't so keen on the non interview chapters but overall loved it.

This ARC courtesy of Netgalley is a *little* bit full of stereotypes and clichés, but that kinda makes it perfect for my current setting, don't you think? Will give a full review when I finish. Expected release date is around October this year, I think. (SPOILER ALERT: His name isn't actually Bob. Which is good, because what writer would choose that for a young guy. No offence to the hot Bobs out there) #currentlyreading #perfectsummerread
