challenging slow-paced

i probably would’ve liked this more if i read this when i was a teenager,, but reading it at my age right now the teenage drama just frustrates and i didn’t really care for the main relationship

emotional fast-paced

Didnt feel this book.
Felt really flat to me and I didn't really care about the relationships in the book. I didn't think santi and Bea should have gotten together at all. Not for any reason pertaining to Bryce but they just talked too much about hating each other to seem like it would work out in the long run so it felt like wasted time. I just felt very disconnected to everything. Was hard to focus on caring about what happened if anything happened

it took me awhile to get through, but in the end it was a beautiful story of grief. intertwined with different perspectives.
