Literally traumatizing. Enjoyed it but as others have said it was kind of slow.

It was a great books. It was a bit too much nothing. Like I didn’t like how the only sad part was at the end. It was good though.

🚨SPOILERS🚨

This book was a roller coaster - and oh boy, that ending…the lack of transition into such a big plot twist was bold and I personally did not enjoy it as much as other readers. 

Overall, I generally liked the characters throughout the book. The story was compelling and the romance aspects were especially well written. I just wish it was a little shorter, I understand that a lot of the chapters were used to develop Autumn and Finn’s relationship - but at some points It just seemed unnecessary.

This would make a good TV show or movie perhaps. The book lacked plot/climax for me. The Romeo and Juliette plot-line was a bit too overt at times. Also, I just don’t like reading the teenage headspace POV. However, that was well-written. I think the description of how kids drift apart and establish unspoken divisions in school is very accurate.
