How to Love by Katie Cotugno
3.0

Actual rating: 3.5 almost 4 stars

I really loved Reena's narration and how the story is told in a before and after sequence. I loved how the story moves forward with a steady crescendo to some major revelations, decisions, and happenings.

What I didn't like is Sawyer. But at the same time, Reena is a little at fault for that. She put Sawyer on this pedestal that he couldn't possibly reach. However, this aspect is what makes it relatable and alarmingly close to human nature.

I honestly don't know what to think but I did like the story immensely. If I did not, I wouldn't have finished it in less than 24 hrs.

Lastly, I think the blurbs are misleading. This isn't a love story, not in the sense that it ought to be.
