i have a lot of thoughts. but i think i’ll start with the first one which is my thought at the end. i liked and disliked the ending

(bc it was sad).

i think the ending tied it up in a bow even if not all the ribbon was there. 

time for honesty. i hated julia as a character. her pov through the first half of the book had me close to hitting my head with the book. i was so frustrated with her, and that only continued. i could see part of myself in her, with how she was a planner, but she never thought to look at her “plans” with a different lens. she thought she was high and mighty. i don’t pity her. she did it to herself. 

at first i didn’t like the whole

sylvie and william thing. i thought it was a little odd. but as it went on, i realized how perfectly they fit. and it was really wholesome, so incredibly sad at the end when she passed. i’m proud of their character developments, sylvie with herself and william with alice/caroline.

i would’ve liked an epilogue to see a little taste of the future but i’m ok with how it ended.
