i would have loved it so much more if it didn’t include the love triangel trope.

i’m over teenagers who act on every sexual urge they feel

I read this for a friend of mine, but throughout the book I was reminded why i wouldn't have picked it up myself. It is a beautiful story filled with heartache and grief, just not for me. If you like to bawl your eyes out and find comfort in sadness, this book will be your 5 star recommendation 🌟

oh mY GODDD okay what a ride. tbh i really really wanted to give this 5 stars, i love this book so much but i'm picky. adam, ur 'plot twists' were so random. like there was one i was expecting, and it kind of made sense, but the next one??? like huh? there was no build up, no suggestion to even HINT it had happened and then there was suddenly a sentence explaining it had happened. very confusing fr. ANOTHER THING pls drop the blame game. griffin would not blame anyone for theo's death idec. that's not a spoiler bc y'all know he's dead from the first sentence! it's kind of realistic in terms of dealing w grief and stuff buT THERE'S LIKE A FEW MOMENTS where i'm questioning it n i'm like hmmmm. but it's really good. i meAN SAD HONESTLY but yk. it took a while to read bc i was in a reading slump for a bit but there was no issue picking up where i left off and it's easy to follow fr<3 AND THERE WAS ONE MOMENT WHEN I GASPED FR LIKE. also i hate this one bitch but we don't talk abt her. y'all will know who i mean.

Another masterpiece sad story from Adam Silvera!! I love this story so much with back and forth plot. Following the story of Griffin who walked down the memory lane, he felt sad and devestated just because his bestfriend died.

I love that he tried to find his life again in the future and moved on. Griffin and Theo were soulmate, indeed. But, for me... Wade and Griffin are destiny.

This is beyond beautiful! Thank you, Adam for a new experience in this story! I love your writing style so much!
