I love the concept but wish we'd had more time in the love stage.  I would have felt more invested in their after

I loved this book very much and it's a fantastic and sad story. 
I didn't like the Harry Potter references because I think after the things that she did we should avoid everything JKR like the plague.

This was cute, but nothing special. It had some lovely quotes, but the relationship was too insta-lovey for me. They felt too focused on each other – I thought Ash was going to mourn the loss of her family more, but all she could think of was Poppy.

I did like the illustrations – the roses! The moths! – and I loved Esen and Dev.
Maybe I'm too old now for YA, though.
