1.0

This book had so much potential, and it is disappointing that the author does not utilize it. The characters seem to follow tropes without any real commentary on how they got there.

There were no hints, or indicators that the characters are falling in love with each other, until they kiss.  It’s like they just decided it would be a good idea out of the blue.

I’m not a fan of the writing style of the characters. “ the world is mad cruel.” It sounds like he's trying too hard to appeal to teens. 

This book does not have any real discernible climax or resolution. The events seem very random and don’t follow a theme or goal. The characters are flat and seem to make decisions to drive the plot of these random events, rather than reflect good character. 

This book will not keep you up at night. It will not make you cry. However, it is perfect for making you tired before bed.

I love a good gay romance but this one felt so forced. I did not feel any romance before the playground. It was still an interesting book but did not like the ending. Rufus’s death was disappointing.

Really loved this book!! I cried way more than I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it. I thought it was very reflective, and joyous, and full of heart. The structure was really fun, I really loved getting multiple perspectives and the layout of the book. Very good read.
