This is one of my all time favorite series. This book in particular handles very difficult and potentially triggering themes, so be careful going in. I do believe those issues were handled with sensitivity and honesty. I love the love story.

I love this series, so I was incredibly disappointed with this one.
The representation and education around borderline personality disorder was nice, but the idea of love “saving” both boys really turned me off. Also, I loved the voice actor for Paz and his take on other characters’ voices, but the voice actor for Alano sounded way too old, which made it hard for me to imagine them together. The ending also felt too open and very abrupt.

I honestly don’t even know what to say about a book like this. Maybe just this: Adam Silvera has broken my heart more times than I can count… And he’s done it again. His writing is so beautiful, so gripping, that you find yourself reading without pause - you simply can’t put the book down, not even for a moment.

Naively, I thought this one might be a little easier. After all, unlike parts one and two, it doesn’t say someone is going to die at the end. Oh, how wrong I was.

This book shattered me into a million pieces. It’s the kind of story that leaves you speechless and breathless when you turn the final page. You just sit there, staring at the wall, unsure what to do next. And when you do finally move, you can feel that a tiny piece of your heart is still trapped inside the book. There’s no way to get it back - and honestly, you don’t want to. That little piece belongs to the story now.

When you think of it later, it gives you that beautiful, aching feeling, because part of you is still in that world, still with those characters.

Thank you, Adam, for doing this to us - again. Your books hurt in ways that almost feel unbearable, but they are among the most heartbreakingly beautiful works of art I’ve ever read.

I found this a lot different than the first two books. i had to take breaks during reading because it was so emotionally devastating, but i'm glad i pulled through. 
although Paz was the main character, Alano appealed to me the most. for some reason, i resonated with him more than with Paz, even tho we share the dame diagnosis. 
by the end, this became as special as the other books in this series, but this one was a lot more painful to read.
