I feel like it was trying too hard to be poetic and whimsical, but in the end it just fell flat. The metaphors are overused and repeated in every chapter, the dialogue is unrealistic, and the writing itself is hard to follow, choppy, and grammatically challenged. 

It was an easy read, yes, but I really only finished it because I was reading it for someone else. If I’d picked it up on my own, I would’ve probably DNFed it.

The ending was? Sad? The other characters’ stories and

deaths

were well done and emotional, but the whole thing with Sam and Hikari was lost on me.

This is my absolute FAVOURITE book hands down. There is no contest, I've reread this book at least 5 times and it would've been more had I not lent both of my copies out LOL. I cannot express how much I adore this book with a passion

this book is written for teenagers on tumblr in 2014 and i can say this because i was one. the plot is an afterthought to the pretty prose written by the author. truly every line is trying to be "quotable." by the time i realized i didn't care to finish this story i was already so close to the end i thought i might as well get there but i wouldn't recommend this to any adult. there are also some points that i feel were handled irresponsibly when discussing mental illness.

Make sure you have tissues and read the warnings, but this is a pretty good debut! Neo has my soul and I loved Sonny so much! Also Eric is such a mood. 
I will say that the ending felt long winded and some of the dialog was idealic/unnatural especially in the last quarter of the book. But the way the author doesn't shy away from the harsh subjects she tackles in the book really makes up for!

4.0

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The story was unlike any book I’ve ever read, and the characters were also really unique, especially the protagonist. What I loved most about this book was the ending, and all the wisdom the author shared about life and death, it was really comforting to hear. The only reason I didn’t rate it higher is because the writing isn’t really my style, and I found it really unnatural at times, especially in the dialogue, and also the jump between timelines got in the way of the story a bit at times (in my opinion). However, I still highly recommend reading this book for the perspectives and emotional rollercoaster that it is.
