I really enjoyed reading from the perspective of a character that is so vastly different than me. I think the conflict was realistic and I could comprehend the actions of every character. I loved that the book dealt with slow healing and involved but also flawed parents that had the grace to apologize when they messed up. Even a good teacher had some time to shine. 

The two were very cute and I loved the way they learned to speak to each other. 

The Ex is not a complete bitch in the end. I don't believe girls always have to be pitted against one another especially over a guy. I don't think her being this mean in the beginning and middle was necessary either, Mallory's struggling with standing up for herself could have been shown differently. But at least the aspect that they could still be friends was not an issue and cheating just not the typical drama.

THIS BOOK!!! I couldn't stop reading and i bawled my eyes out. I love these people so much. I want to read it again. This book broke my heart. One of my favs. The only thing that i don't like is

that rider abandend his girlfriend like page deserved better. I ended up feeling so bad for her esspecially after we find out that she comes from an abusive household aswell. What happens to her in the end is never resolved and that still bugs me.

but i love this story to much. One of my favorite reads EVER

Look up for trigger warnings before reading the book.

It was a good read, a nice mixture of a dark past and a hopeful future.
