i sobbed. i did. i really did. i then cried four times. if i think about it, i cry. this series/ book broke me. i’m never going to be the same. sounds dramatic, but it’s heart breaking. i need, NEED, a version where
finny lives. him and autumn get married, see how he reacts to her pregnancy, and how his relationship is with his daughter.
i’m not okay after this.

Jesus. Nowlin does it again. I legit cried the whole book. I can't even describe how horrible and amazing this book is. The book is divided into three parts between Finn, Jack, and Autumn. This gives us two additional insights we didn't have in the previous book and the story extends beyond the first book. It was a tad hard to follow in the beginning as I made the mistake of not reading the first book again but I don't feel like i'm missing all that much as it goes on. The chapters are shot enough that I dont feel like it drags but long enough that it feels like every chapter is detailed. I won't spoil it but good lord every bit of this book was so sad I was crying from page 25 till the end. Thank you so much to Laura Nowlin for finishing this series even when you said it was over!
