It's a beautifully written story about healing from various types of grief. Sometimes, checking in on those around you can be life-altering for that person. It's also a love story between the two characters and between them loving themselves. I was not prepared for that horrible twist at the end of the second-to-last chapter. Luckily, it untwists itself, but I was WEEPING! 
It's a beautiful story, but take care of yourself while reading.

The writing style very much fits with the young adult genre, despite some explicit scenes. However, the character development is strong and the two main characters equally lovable for different reasons. The book touches on some important topics without trivialising them. If you enjoy a good love story then it’s not one to be missed.

This is a tough one for me to rate. It wasn't a bad book. I really liked Archer's character and history. Brie's wasn't bad either. The progression was just very predictable and formulaic. There was so much foreshadowing and no mystery. Travis was such a walking red flag. Around 60%, I was just ready for it to be done because I knew everything that was going to happen.
