Okay so this book gave me so much whiplash my neck is now sore, honestly …. wow. I’m giving this 4 stars because when I was looking for something to read so I could feel something this definitely made me do that, good or bad? I don’t know but I’m not numb anymore, the two main characters brought of memories back for me and made me think of someone in my past we were a lot like the two main characters in that way except we didn’t end up together.
Anyway back to the point I feel like B was very selfish in how she expected Jamie to always be there waiting for her but I related to that more than I like to admit. They had amazing chemistry but I just didn’t understand why they fought so hard to not be together?!! It was maddening to read, if Jamie wanted to be with B that much why didn’t he move to the same city as her, they hurt a lot of people with their relationship I felt sorry for the people around them, a lot less people would’ve gotten hurt if they decided to be together.
Long distance would’ve hurt them less than them not being together at all. I think it was a realistic approach from a teenage to adult relationship, love isn’t always sunshine and rainbows and I think that’s what the authors message was.
“All we do is hurt. All we do is destroy, and one of us is always picking up the pieces, trying to move on or forget or not get our hopes up. It’s sick. We’re toxic.” - my favourite quote, I related to it.
