This Won't End Well by Camille Pagán
3.5
I liked this. 3.5 stars. Included in KindleUnlimited, text and audio, and I also had a physical copy picked up a library sale. I went with the audio version primarily - Amy McFadden narrating. She's a good narrator, but her voice is so distinct that I have to REALLY space her out so that my mind doesn't mix things up.
This had several format presentations ... lots of letters, emails, journal entries, group texts (the latter reminded me a bit of [book:Anonymous Mom Posts|63416757]). In audio, some of the "reference" To: From: Subject: email addresses, etc ... could get a little repetitive and tedious (not as bad as in Ready Player One though, where there were long strings of numbers, IP addresses, etc). Most of the text was 1st person/past tense.
I don't know how much of this I'll really remember in the long run. It was a pretty cute story. No proFanity. Some sex, but nothing explicit. I enjoyed the relationships and situations (Annie and her mother, Annie and Moe, the background with Harper ... and her dog and the hilarious undercover trip to the dog park).
Simple chronological chapters. 48 + an epilogue. No TOC in the physical, which isn't that big a deal here, as the chapters don't have headers or anything.
No real notes, words noticed (no smirking or scowling!) ... a couple phrases, the was the "let out a breath she didn't know she was holding" and "for all intents and purposes" (I'd just had a book that said that several times, here it was just once).
I must admit, when there aren't author's notes or discussion questions I feel a little ... like I'm missing something that might make me appreciate it more.
