the ending felt rushed, i enjoyed the build up on the story! i thought i’d cry and really i saw the ending coming, i just wasn’t expecting to happen the way it did.

this book gives a whole new meaning to “last good day”

the characters were relatively likable, except Jamie! i wish everyone’s parents were more present??? anyway, it’s just a book, it just felt like it wasn’t realistic at times

This book absolutely wrecked me. I really understood the main character in so many more ways than I thought I would.

Made me sob so hard i snorted. Would never read again. Ending was rushed. Main character reminded me of me in high school. Made me reflect a lot on my own situations and relate them to the book (in a good and bad way). To everyone saying it’s cheesy/cringe: this is a high school romance. The characters are teenagers. Of course it will be cringe and cheesy, weren’t we all at some point in our youth? Anyways. The ending was predictable, what hurts is the lead up to it. #teamfinny

Honest opinion? I am not a fan of the writing. It’s unorganized and doesn’t flow well. The plot is boring and nonexistent for 3/4 of the book. Around page 300 is when it peaked my interest. Not horrible, but wouldn’t recommend. “She was the instrument of his death, but not the cause.”
