There's something about finding a book randomly on the shelf, say at a library. And either the cover, title or premise of the story catches your interest, you go in blind, not sure what to expect, having heard nothing about the book. That's how I felt with this one. You have a girl who finds her mom's phone at her studio apartment, with her and her little brother and dad dealing with mom's death.On the phone, she finds there's seven messages and decides to listen to each, thinking there might be answers to questions concerning her mom.While she does investigate if there was more to her mom's death, it was also Luna coming to terms with some things. I kind of liked this at first, then by the end of it, I really liked it, my rating changing from 3 to 3.5 so you could say this is a 3.5 and slightly 4. Or both. Also, Tile, was adorable in this, you just want to give him a hug, which made his and Luna's sibling relationship even better. Its nice to find a book now and then where the siblings care for one another instead of acting like bitter enemies or something.The writing and descriptions of the places, Luna's observations I liked. It just flowed well, or it had to do the slow pace.So basically, this was a good quick read, though I took my time with it. The photography part did make me think of another book, Hold Still. As much as I tried, I just could not finish this book.The plot sounded so interesting when I first picked it up at the bookstore, but unfortunately it did not live up to the expectations I had. Luna, the main character, is so unlikeable. When you dislike the main character, it's incredibly difficult to keep reading. I pushed through to around halfway through before I stopped. I just couldn't take it anymore.Luna is annoying, way too snarky, and awkward to the point where I would cringe. Her relationship with Oliver made me cringe as well. Her whole story wasn't believable for me, unfortunately. I really tried to like this book, but I couldn't. I think it's one of those books where you either love it or hate it and sadly, I was not on the love it side.
