I read this book because I wanted to see if it would make me cry, but it didn’t. You already kinda know the bad thing that’s going to happen, so when it did happen it was very underwhelming, probably could have written that part differently. Easy read though.

I loved Autumn and Finny, I wish it was a happy book and they ended up together :(

Also the writing wasn’t complex or special, it’s kinda teenagerishy but it’s written in first person and the main character is a teen, so I didn’t mind that. She’s also a bit of a “not like other girls” girl, but I didn’t hate her.

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
