I originally put this book on my wishlist when I first got into books again, If I’d read it then I prob would of liked it more.  I knew going into it I wouldn’t throughly enjoy it but I’m definitely checking some stuff off that’s been on my tbr for awhile. This is not my style and I’m honestly surprised so many grown adults like this book.

"Finny?", "OH Autumn" my mother says, the smallest chapter in the book and it sent me in hysterics. My heart is shattered at the thought of losing your one true love within hours of declaring your love for them. I still have a lump in my throat. 

The book was overall a very sweet and nostalgic read, made me think of the way I used to be as a kid, I was very much like Autumn when I was younger, i felt like her and I was exactly like her, standing out without trying to stand out. I felt embarrassed for her with her wearing a tiara and I remembered that, that is exactly what I did, which is probably why I felt this way, she found herself in Finny and my heart just shattered at the end!!!

It was kind of predictable most of the time and

I HATE the baby trope so I didn't like the end of this book

overall not bad but not the best. I think it is overrated.
