Warning… this book will make you feel so many emotions and ugly cry. This is such a beautifully sad book filled to the brim with friendship, love, hope, and sadness. I tabbed the hell out of this book as the language used is so lovely and noteworthy and takes you along with every emotion felt by the characters. This initially gave me The Fault In Our Stars vibe but queer.. however this is so much more (and in my opinion better) than that as there is so many different kinds of love and hope in this book.

That happened I guess.

I urge anyone who considers reading this book to check the content warnings beforehand. Although there are some at the beginning of the book, I did not expect the depictions to be so constant. This is a long read, so please take breaks if you need or leave it unfinished.

Overall, this book wasn't what I thought it would be based on the synopsis or the author's marketing. I can understand why so many people love it, but it just seemed to drag on and on. The ending wasn't satisfying to me, although I can't really think of another ending. All in all, I think this book just wasn't for me.

If you're looking for something similar, I recommend the book The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin (5 stars). If you happen to enjoy anime, the narrator, Sam, reminded me of Fushi from To Your Eternity (4 stars).
