TJR is usually a hit (Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones) or a miss (Malibu Rising) for me. This time, I wasn’t crazy impressed, but I still liked this one. 

Writing was simplistic but also very readable. Thought there could have been deeper character development, but the plot is certainly intriguing and I felt it accomplished its goal: delivering on a premise that could be difficult to pull off, as well as being an engaging page-turner — a perfect spring break read.

It was a mostly enjoyable, easy read. At times, it veered on the boring side as there wasn't a lot of action. It was mostly angst slapped on angst, but it all resolved in a way I was pleased with.

this is the book that has made me cry the most, i think, EVER in my life 
the beginning was very odd and the writing style was kind of ~meh~ but the actual story was very good. the book captured grief very well
