From Goodreads:
Garden State meets Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist in this funny and poignant illustrated novel about opposites who fall in love.
This book was just ehhh for me. I usually find myself feeling this way about books either written about guys or by guys. I don't know why. And that was the case for this book. I certainly didn't hate the book. But I didn't really care about it either. It was just...there.
Of the two characters, I definitely liked Evan more than Lucy. Evan seemed like a sweet, slightly-nerdy guy who had a big heart and wanted to do the right thing. While Lucy, she was just so negative. About EVERYTHING! I get that she's had some rough times. But I knew kids with a lot harder lives than hers and they weren't nearly so negative. And when we got to see things from Lucy's side and see how she kinda had a crush on Evan the whole time, I was kinda shocked. I mean, she certainly didn't act like it at all.
The graphics and drawings were a nice tough. I usually stay away from graphic novels, but since this only had a few, it wasn't bad and broke up the story nicely.
I gave this book a rating of 3/5.
