Hey guys! So sorry I’ve been MIA on this blog. I hope most of you are still with us. We’re gonna work on emptying the inbox soon. Thank you for the patience!
I read Play, Pause, Repeat a few weeks ago and really liked it. In the story, Bella and Edward both run YouTube channels and go to Cornell University. Edward watches one of Bella’s cooking videos and comments on it—Bella sees it, and the smooth fucker somehow lands himself a date. It’s pretty cute. The story’s kinda short at 50k+ words, and it’s a really light read.
I didn’t give this story an A because, well, even though it’s pretty well-written for the most part, it wasn’t that magnetic or memorable. The YouTubers plotline is pretty original and cool, but that’s pretty much the only memorable thing about it. But don’t let that stop you from reading it! Despite me not remembering much else about what happened in the story, it’s still got a little place in my heart. If you’re a fangirl, I guarantee you’ll be able to identify with this story. When I read it, I felt as if I was staring into the abyss. A common thought I had while reading it was, “Holy shit, that’s my world.” One of the best parts of the story was definitely Bella and Edward’s shippers and just the social media aspect as a whole.
So there! I think this story would be a good read right after bawling your heart out for a long and tiring angsty story.
Have a fun weekend!
