Quick and enjoyable read, although I think I may have finally aged out of the "...but we didn't know we liked each other" miscommunication trope. Also, the plot is predominately moved along solely by foreshadowing for most of the book, so you will probably see the twists and turns coming from miles away.

Really feel bad saying this but, this was overhyped. Slow, not really interesting characters. Ending was strange and yet somehow predictable-ish.

It was slow but it picked up. I loved how relatable it was personally especially if you experienced similar. The words was written in a way that can make reading easy to fly through, I read it in a day. Definitely a favorite and can't wait for the second book.

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

This book was boring and had to much sexual content in my opinion.

This book was beautiful. 5 star read until the ending. It was so disappointing. There was not enough of Autumn & Finny to the point that it feels so useless to have read this beautiful book and have it come so abruptly to an end. I can see the beauty in thinking of real life and how sometimes things end before we are ready but the end was so abrupt. There wasn’t even enough about Autumn after to feel like the story was complete.
