I absolutely loved this book and as promised it made me cry multiple times. I loved watching their relationship and the rawness of the storyline. 

The only minor complaint that I have is that characters names are overused and sometimes it makes the story feel a little disjointed. 

Overall though, it's a brilliant book about a difficult topic that I highly recommend anyone read.

slow-paced

3.5

Didn't build the relationship enough, described the relationship but didnt let you feel it. Spent too much time describing their kisses and their sadness. Too too too many time jumps. Kind of overly religious. EPILOGUE SUCKED! Disappointing
