This was an emotional rollercoaster of a listen that explores love, loss, grief and rediscovery. 

The idea of two loves and the internal struggle that Emma faces due to the complex situation she ends up in was very thought provoking and while I am personally happy with the decision that Emma ultimately made, I did think it was just a bit unrealistic that she was able to make such a life changing decision in only three days.

Wow, what an emotional wringer. Half way through, I thought there was no way this would have a satisfying conclusion, one that wasn't frustrating, but it did. The start felt a little slow and teenager-y, with too many details about the characters lives, and at times the book comes off a little prescriptive, even preachy, about how to live and what makes a good life, those are minor complaints compared with how masterfully the emotions and characters are executed. This could so easily have been maudlin or melodramatic (and maybe to some it is anyway), but instead I found it intense and extremely gripping, the sort of book I get annoyed when I have to put down.
