I'm wondering if everyone else ever had this exciting feeling towards a book that you didn't know entirely before and immediately just after you watching a booktuber talking about the summary of this book you really want to read it?
Yap, I purely knew this book just because I watched their book haul video talking about this book. I know, they didn't do the wrong move. They were just talking few words about the summary of some books they got sent by the publisher. They also disclose it at their video. But imagine how the power of marketing they have in their hands. It was quite scary to think about. And when the publisher marketed that book into one specific genre whereas it's not really true?
So, they are marketing The Whole Thing Together as a YA novel and has a great summary. But when I read it, I realize this is not really a YA thing actually. It's more like a woman fiction that at the same time they just happen to have two teenagers. The main problem in this book is actually more about 'adult' relationship rather than the teenager's problems.
It's shame really because they were some potential that could make this book lit up in the young adult genre. Sadly the author chose to bring the plot twist and the ending like that.
Rating 2.5/5 stars.
