I‘ve never read a book like this before. It was so beautiful and sad and emotional and I was just really rooting for all these characters. The friendships in this book are the main focus and how they change throughout life. The most important theme is platonic love and the power and beauty of it, which I personally really enjoy reading about.

I totally understand why this book has so much hype. The characters are so interesting, as are their journeys. It was wonderful to watch them all grow up. However, the subplots relating to the professor
particularly, the abuse
felt uncomfortable. Yes, books should push limits of comfort, but it felt almost needless.
Their relationship could have been tumultuous and toxic without the graphics of the handcuffs. The power imbalance alone is  scarring and could have impacted Sadie enough throughout her life. The DV and the way everyone wanted her in the college days felt almost exploitative.
Perhaps it was a testament to what it was like to be a young beautiful woman in the 1990s—a different time. Sadie’s relationships felt complex, as were all of the relationships in the book. Sam was lovable, though flawed, and it was a treat to see inside his mind as he navigated how the relationships ebbed and flowed.

I can only like this book for the non-stereotypic couple duo of Sam and Saide even though they are hinting as a pair. I can’t enjoy the story as it’s vague, author’s style of using hard word choices inbetween and sudden plot turning to different story. The book overall felt like I’m studying for my school.

Sometimes I felt like themes or events were brought up and then quickly over. Some of them I don’t feel like brought much to the book. It does a good job of showing the complexities of friendship and growing up and how your lives change.
