On top of this I think this book has one of the best (if not the best) chapter I've read in my life in "NPC". Knowing from the beginning of the chapter how everything will wrap up and yet feeling so vulnerable at the end. Surreal and slightly disturbing experience that shakes you up in ways you haven't imagined.

It was the perfect combination of smart, emotional and uplifting. The characters are flawed but whole, their lives are complicated as are their relationships. The shifting timeline was done flawlessly. It felt like no time was passing at all because I was so wholly immersed in the experience.
I can’t see what the flaws are… I wish there was maybe a bit more change in their characters as time went on. I understand Sam was unchangeable and that Sadie was complicated and dont get me wrong, I love full circle moments, but there was just maybe something slightly lacking that makes it a 4.5 rather than a 5.
Honestly an amazing book and I will recommend it to so many people!
