This book was a lot. It sucked me in and I couldn’t put it down, yet I had to stop reading before bed because I kept getting weird dreams. This book is very emotional and deals with some heavy topics, and potentially could be triggering. The subtle eeriness of the paranormal phenomenon going on also adds to the need to continue reading to find out what’s going on. I saw a few things coming, but only in the short term rather than from early on in the book. I feel like you really start to see what’s happening in the second half of the book. While I was really invested in Natalie and Beau, I didn’t really see a reason why they loved each other besides their circumstance. And yet they were very convincing in the way young love is. So I guess the chemistry was there. I had visceral reactions to Matt’s behaviors. This book is a bit mind-numby but not overly so, but it stomped on my heart a lot. While I will think about how this book made me feel for a while, I wouldn’t necessarily say that I loved it. I liked it, I appreciated it, and it made me think and feel things. I like Emily Henry’s writing but the characters, atmosphere, general premise of the book is not one I’m drawn to.
