I mean, when on the first page you can read: "When he then asked me, “Do you have time to talk?” in a completely sober tone, I was pretty much expecting the apocalypse. I was laughing my ass off on so many occasions that I stopped counting. The sense of humour of that book is just amazing. I love that they all make fun of each other in the worst case possible, but still quietly care. I love that Eli learned to braid hair just for Gaby, that Mason will puncture 3 tires of Gaby's ex's car, and that Gordo remains silent and will buy her food when he knows she just listened to something which bothered her. Sure, they are pretty silly and kinda immature for 26, I feel like they are closer to 20 than anything, but the display of affection behind all the shit they do to each other? That's just amazing. Well, mostly the first two, because the last two didn't seem as present to me, but still. There are so many things that are amazing with that book that we'll let that go.
And believe me, I'm a fan of romance, of Mariana Zapata and of slow burns, so it's even paining me to admit the romance aspect of it was not the one I actually liked. A bit jealous? That's even stretching it). Too Mary Sue for my tastes, I guess (I can't even remember one thing the guy did wrong, or a fault in his personality, seriously. I couldn't really relate to him, and though he shows kindness and a good sense of humour, I don't know. Well, to be honest, the romance aspect of it wasn't my main interest, or at least it's definitely not the strongest suit of the book. I've just reading this book for the second time in the span of a year and it just got bumped into my favorites shelf.
