Thanks to Macmillan for the free copy of this book.
- LOVE IN 280 CHARACTERS OR LESS is a lovely coming of age in the digital age novel. I loved Syd and identified deeply with how she was torn between following her dreams and doing what was expected of her.
- Without spoiling anything, I did find the love triangle piece of the story a little silly, as it was pretty easy to see what was going on. There are are a few things that felt like disconnects for me: Syd complains repeatedly of not being able to make friends while multiple people are actively making her their friend. Something happens to Malcolm’s roommate Jay, who Syd has met, and she barely acknowledges that it happened to Jay and instead fixates on how it could have happened to Malcolm.
- Regardless, I still enjoyed this book and hope to read more by Stringfield in the future.
