3.5 stars. Very cute. I’d love to stumble upon a journal like the one in this book. ;)

I did not enjoy this. Exceedingly predictable. And neither characters’ stories went anywhere for a good portion of the book.

This was such a sweet story! I really liked how they were able to talk about suicide, Alzheimer, alcoholism, and cancer. I loved Jonathan's perspective although I had to speed read through some of Hannah's parts. Even though it was a fluff book it was still a good read.

Cute story. Love the publishing/book setting... and in Germany! Hannah and Simon's relationship was so frustrating. They were so mismatched and all the crying. Good gracious! Lisa is the best friend ever. No one is that nice. :)

I really did enjoy this one! I was super close to giving it 5 stars, but I felt like I needed to be a little more discerning this year, lol. It wasn’t AMAZING, but definitely worth a read. It honestly made me think about how I’m living my life. A great choice for my first book of 2021!

I liked reading a book that didn't take place in the US or UK. The concept was really interesting and I did like Jonathan's openness to change. The first half of the book dragged out a little too much and the back half felt rushed. Simon also seemed like a crap boyfriend so Hannah's sections quickly got old.

I don't even remember when, why or how this book ended up on my Kindle, but I cracked it open this week. Lately I've been finding myself thriving on dialogue and this story doesn't have alot of dialogue, but I found it didn't matter. Spending a year with these two characters on very different journeys of overlapping self discovery had me wishing to mirror the experience. Introspection, exploration, contemplation. I frequently found myself tearing up. This was a moving read for me and a reminder to look both inside and outside myself.

3.5 stars, I disliked Hannah so much, but I really enjoyed Jonathan’s story. I’m glad I read it, but I wouldn’t pick it up again. I would be interested in a story focused on Leopold.
