Not for me. Don't think any of the characters were complex enough to be real people and/or were good examples of young love and life. Thoroughly did not enjoy the choices the author made.

So I adored the book. I loved it so much, i started crying in the end.

WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE FINNY 😭

Laura nowlin has a very basic style of writing, however i loved it. Just a small criticism: the plot was way too slow. In my opinion,

the breakup with Jamie should’ve been way earlier than in the last 150 pages or smth

to actually let the relationship between autumn and finny flourish. 
The beginning was interesting, but the middle was quite boring, the end took me by surprise tho. 
Overall, i loved the book, and i read the second one (if only i had told her) in a day or so. Absolutely adored it. Thank you for blessing me with this masterpiece.
