“What was the point of having a life if you never had the chance to live it?”

This book honestly feels like coming back home, like I remember it so well and I'm so happy that I decided to re-read it again. 

I love Oliver, he is honestly the perfect man, Deliah really is the og 'I'm not like other girls' and I don't feel like we saw enough of Edgar, but from what we know about him I like him. I loved the illustrations throughout this, I feel like it added a whole new level and it showed you what the pictures in the book would've been like, I wish they added some from the real world so we could see what Oliver looked like in school. 
 
This is what love is: never wanting to give up

I feel like it is slightly unfinished and I wish the epilogue was set 5 years into the future or there was another book at least so we could have a proper ending.
like I wish we saw more of Maureen in the real world and whether Oliver and Deliah stayed together, whether Edgar wanted to come out of the book etc
 

I do love this book wholeheartedly 

"Listen to me Deliah. Live your life. Fall in love again." I take a deep breath. "Don't you dare wait for me"
