The idea behind it was really good, but it was poorly executed. I think this book would have benefited from better editing and also (Spoiler alert) the whole Sam and Chloe thing made no sense and neither did Evan and Hannah. We never really find out WHY she likes him or why he never calls her back. The pacing of the book felt off as well, for instance, the fact that the play seemed to be so relevant at the beginning and it only barely resurfaced at the very end. Even the reasons for Hannah's dad leaving were barely discussed. I think that by trying to tackle so many issues at once the story lost a bit of its momentum. The ending was a bit anti-climatic as well.
