Book Review: The Catastrophic History of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg

SYNOPSIS:
Dying of a broken heart is just the beginning.... Welcome to forever.
BRIE'S LIFE ENDS AT SIXTEEN: Her boyfriend tells her he doesn't love her, and the news breaks her heart—literally.
But now that she's D&G (dead and gone), Brie is about to discover that love is way more complicated than she ever imagined. Back in Half Moon Bay, her family has begun to unravel. Her best friend has been keeping a secret about Jacob, the boy she loved and lost—and the truth behind his shattering betrayal. And then there's Patrick, Brie's mysterious new guide and resident Lost Soul . . . who just might hold the key to her forever after.
With Patrick's help, Brie will have to pass through the five stages of grief before she's ready to move on. But how do you begin again, when your heart is still in pieces?



MY REVIEW:
 Well, this book was different... It was totally normal in the beginning and then it just got extremely weird towards the middle of the book. Yes, I understand the concept of the book was about the main character and her going through the five stages of grief, but Brie got annoying after a while. She was so concerned about Jacob and she treated Patrick like shit. I know she was sad about not being with Jacob anymore, but she died! Its not like she can go back and fix anything. I also felt the world building was confusing at times. I just kind of imagined it how I would have seen it. I also felt the ending was a little rushed considering not a lot happened in the middle of the book. The story could have been spread out a little more. I loved Patrick. I just hated how Brie was always telling him to stop helping her! I was like wtf? He just trying to make you feel better you bitch. I overall liked the book, it was just weird here and there and a little confusing. I rated it a 3/5 stars.
