2.5 or 3 Stars - undecided

Eh, this was a book, a book that I read.

It had potential and a cute premise. The dialogue was sometimes witty, but nearly always felt forced. I enjoyed Nina and how so much of the story had to do with books. I loved her youngest sister and how Nina saw parts of herself in her siblings and often had to come to terms with how that made her a bit uncomfortable. I wanted more from the "surprise family" part of the story. I didn't like the romance. To me there wasn't really a romance. It fell completely flat, and was actually unnecessary. I didn't feel invested in the romance or in the trivia competitions either. This felt like a much shorter story stretched over a hundred too many pages.

It was cute at times, but ultimately forgettable.
