Love Creekwood

So this is just a whole bunch of email conversations and there’s no narrative so it makes the story a bit hard to follow and doesn’t keep context of the characters. But still cute. Could of been better written though. 2 people found this helpful

The narrators are amazing, but the entire book is them reading emails. There are parts where they spend more time reading the details of the email (from, to, date, subject, etc) than reading the actual message in the email. The characters seem to spend a decent amount of time together (one long distance relationship and one where they live together) but there are no “in person” interactions. It would have been nice if the emails were split up with some actual character interaction from time to time. Overall, a good quick listen for Simon fans. 2 people found this helpful

I love it plus the idea of having the characters just write in emails to each other plus having the romance between everyone.

Fan of the author, the series, etc. Had high hopes for this book, and while it was ultimately nice, I don\’t think it translated terribly well to audiobook. Why? Because while I could live with the fact that it was less than 3 hours long (it\’s a novella after all), I seriously think half that time was spent reading aloud the same email addresses over and over…and over…and over…and over. I was gobsmacked at just how much time was dedicated to reading those email addresses it was like some sort of parody.

I want to start this review off with saying, I love all of these narrators so much, and I love the Simonverse, but the tedious reading of the from, to, date, subject part of the email was so boring!! I would hear the narrators rattle it off, and I would think ugh again? It got especially unbearable during the group email setting where the narrators would spend 30 seconds saying from, to, date, subject and then have a one word answer to the email, then back again with the reply starting with the boring details again. It was really frustrating and impossible to follow the conversations. This book gave no new character growth for the main characters, I really wish we could have gotten a longer time jump then just 1 school year. If you want to read this book, maybe opt for the text version, it would be realistically a 20 minute read without the rattling off of details of what their email addresses are.
