"Hate me. Devastate me. Annihilate me. Re-create me. Re-create me. Won't you, won't you won't you re-create me."

I liked this book, it was a good sequel to the last one, and I liked the portrayal of grief through Adam's songs. I'm also still trying to finish the lyrics to Adam's songs, which is saying something. I need a full version of the songs please!!

This has been my favorite book for years and it's always so great to revisit. It always feels like reading it for the first time and reuniting with a friend you haven't seen in a while. Gayle Forman is a masterful author who I truly think deserves more appreciation. Adam's journey throughout the book is so well written and the climax is powerfully written. Overall an amazing book that I'm always happy to re read
