I did not like this book. There is a golden rule, that when book begins with "this is to raise awarness for" you should not get your hopes up. I found the couple very one dimensional, we got the "not like the other girls" with "omg, i got control issuses" and a guy who just does not care and is so edgy. I knew about cs before, so there was nothing new. I might watch movie one day, but that is not very likely. This was just kinda wasted time.
And do not get my started on the treatment of Poe.

Reading notes, I gave up on them after like chapter 10.

Not like the other girls, she's both programmer and youtuber.

Why the fuck is will so gross?

We got the gay immigrant best friend. I'm kind of tired.

It's kinda weird to date someone you follow online.

Will is just a terrible person.

Making dosing tables for people with chronic (or not chronic) illnesses is a terrible idea. You're not a doctor, you're an immature programmer and you don't know what each individual person needs.

Is this love story gonna be based on her not wanting him to die?

Ah yes, I will definitely keep cheering for this male lead, who is so happy that he can just do casual sex and not catch feelings.

I was expecting a little bit more, but a nice read nevertheless. I had hoped for a little more depth. The story itself is very straightforward. And that’s the sad thing about this book; it’s all very shallow. And while there was a lot of potential, the author kept it safe and easy.

A fun and fast read in between two bigger books. But I’m sure the story won’t stick. This one is just one of many love stories.
