i started bawling my eyes at the end and i found this book to be relatable in a lot of scenarios, made me even more self-aware about how i feel and my interactions.

I put off reading this book for so long, because the synopsis made Tori sound insufferable — and yes, insufferable she was. So much. Despite all the pessimism this book ended up being the best Oseman novel I've read, partly (read: mostly) because Tori and Michael reminded me so much of me and my boyfriend when we were 17. Good times. (not really, I was so oblivious but also such a pain in the ass)

Now I've read every single one of Oseman's literary works, kinda weird to leave the debut till the very end but hey, maybe I just unconsciously saved the best for the last? None of her works have been bad though, she's my comfort author <3

This book is a constant favourite of mine I have listened and read it multiple time. This book is extremely relatable and it embodies so much emotion and it really makes you think about what u r doing in ur life. This book is for the people who don’t feel life anymore and for the people who need a comfort character who relates to you.
