![]() ![]() There are a few lucid passages where Allison works through her feelings, but it really wasn’t the central focus I was hoping it could be. This is a novel idea in itself, and I would’ve been trash for this story if it had been just this, but instead it tried to cram in too much.Īllison was in the care system for 16 years of her life, and her anxiety and distress about this is eclipsed by the love story. Conveniently, Allison doesn’t have any social media accounts so she has no idea that Esben is a famous personality online who does a lot of these social experiments, so she’s in the limelight unexpectedly. The pair find each other and start a relationship quickly after this event. ![]() ![]() This wouldn’t been the perfect opportunity for some Hilary Duff Cinderella Story realness, but no. We follow Allison during her second year of college where she takes part in a social experiment to keep eye contact with a boy, Esben, for 180 seconds and something magical happens and they end up having this deep connection. It was obvious reading this book that Jessica Park had collected a few viral news stories and decided they would make unique backstories for her characters, which was quirky but didn’t build to one cohesive story. When I picked up ‘180 Seconds’ it had been a while since I’d read a contemporary, so I’d completely forgotten what t expect plot wise. ![]()
