“The thing I realize is that it’s not what you take, it’s what you leave.”

Wow, just wow. I want to stay by saying if mental health crisis’, suicidal ideation, and discussion of suicide are triggers for you then now is not the time for this book. 
This book was beautiful, lovely, devastating, heartbreaking, haunting, and also kind of uplifting. It was very real and I appreciated and hated that about it. This is one of those books that will weigh on me long after it is done. I am both left feeling speechless and so full of thoughts and feelings about this. This is one of most powerful books I’ve read. It had “The Fault in Our Stars” vibes in heartbreak level.

Please check the content warnings. 

This was not an easy book to read. I took a few breaks to feel my feelings before picking it back up. That being said, Jennifer Niven did an amazing job of showing Violet and Finch’s worlds colliding, melding, and ripping apart.

This book is absolutely, heart-wrenchingly beautiful. One of those books that stay with you for a long time. I would highly recommend it, but please check the content warnings before reading (and be prepared to cry. like ugly cry.)

A book that kept me on my toes and made me fall in love with the characters. Gave me hope for both the characters, wishing that they got there happily ever after. Made me feel and made me cry.

- updated my rating because any book that can make me ugly cry like I did reading the last few chapters deserves to be 5 stars
