I did enjoy the story, however I think the book would have been more intriguing if we the readers didn't know what stevie for got and instead went on a journey with of of being in the dark on what she was doing before the accident. Though I did enjoy the story and did finish it within the day, I found the ending fell a bit flat for me and felt too rushed and unsatisfying.

bootrat's review against another edition

3.5

I liked this, and it was definitely emotional, but it just felt a little underdeveloped? Small things like we know Stevie's half Korean but we never actually find out which parent is Korean? There were just lots of bits like that which would have made the story feel more fleshed out and fully finished. 

But I loved the relationship between Stevie and Nora, and the friendship with Ryan, it was very cute.
