Great story and interesting concept. Incredibly lackluster cast. The actings is subpar and only redeemable by two characters. I so want to be obsessed with this show but I can't get over how cringey the delivery is. I wanted to attribute it to the writing at first but honestly I think it comes down to the execution. The cast is simply not selling it for me, which is so disheartening since the story and filmography is amazing.

Rowell does a great job of maintaining the overall flow of the book while switching between Park and Eleanor's thoughts and actions.there were many times where I felt like I was in a loop of the same events happening over and over again, I eventually questioned if these monotonous events would ever end. It seemed like it was a shabby attempt to stack on more pages. Granted, I was constantly pulled back in by something interesting happening and it made it more worthwhile to finish the book. *possible spoiler* Personally, I will say... how could you end it like that?? My heart was hurting for most of the book, and I simply couldn't believe that after everything we went through it had to end like that. I understand not everything needs a happy ending, but come on! I don't even think Eleanor's gesture at the end left enough room for a hopeful future. This is just my personal thought.
