This book was an emotional rollercoaster. The story of a young girl, left to fend for herself, never knowing love, companionship or security. April has lived a million lives in the span of this book. She has loved & left, over and over and over. Never feeling worthy enough to stay with the people she truly loves & who love her back. It was hard, reading about her falling into the same patterns and not allowing herself to settle down. I absolutely love the characters in this book, especially Margo & Ethan. The ending is bittersweet and hopeful, although I need MORE!

I need to know what else happens, does Justin come around? What about Robert? Who does little Max grow up to be? Ughhhh I seriously need more! I’m not ready to let go of April.

This book was overall a good read, the side characters were lovable as hell and the road-trip lifestyle was a cool adventure to fictionally take part of. The MC I had a hard time rooting for when it felt like she wasn't always giving back to the people who were there for her, and I'm not a fan of time jumps, so a three-year gap felt pointless since she wasn't that much more grown up or wise since we saw April in Ithaca when she was 16. Margo, Adam, Carly, and Ethan were the real ones. I literally couldn't stand Justin so the ending felt a little disappointing.
