A great concept that (mostly) delivers. Although there were some formatting issues, it was still easy enough to read. Overall, I think the idea would've been much better as a New Adult instead of Young Adult, and it seemed a weird choice not to age up the protagonists/do more with the romantic storyline. While the writing was very topical, given the memes and other references, I'm not sure how this book will hold up after a few years.

Also, the ebook formatting (on my phone, at least) is a nightmare when it comes to the tweets and the chat messages. The premise was interesting, but this is not a book I would come back to.
