What you have to realize is they are both unreliable narrators. Once you realize that the book becomes much more interesting as you try to figure out where the truth is.

I knew she/her journal/him were unreliable narrators. It was still boring AF and I wish I hadn't wasted the hours I did thinking it would eventually get better. I spent the entirety of the book irritated. Similar to The Davinci Code which at the time everyone also loved and I hated. On the plus side, it was the book that finally set me on the path of "If I am hating a book I'm not wasting any more time on it." which has opened the door to many more books I actually enjoy.
