-There are many aspects of this book that I really enjoyed. I found it to be such a wholesome yet heartbreaking story. It did such a great job of making me feel conflicted within my own emotions while also having me grasping at straws and denying the inevitable truth that was soon to come at its end. While this story does hint at a budding romance, it focuses on the connection between two people who lived with regrets and aspirations which captivated me and left a lasting impact due to the relatability of the characters themselves.
-The only downside to this book, in my opinion, was some of the writing. Because it centers around adolescents, I believe this author like many others, tried to encapsulate how they think teenagers sound which came off as awkward while reading certain lines.Β
But all in all, if you love heartwrenching, yet wholesome stories and can appreciate various types of romances in books, then you should definitely give this one a read.
