I really Loved this book, the writing was beautiful and i loved how Julie and Sam, were always connected, until the very End of the book, cause it showed me how powerful a romantic relationship, can be.

I loved the culture representation that the book Especially with Sam's family.

I loved how Yuki stood up to, the girl that bullied Julie and tried, to blame Julie for Sams death.

the book, Made me feel so much emotion and i almost cried, while reading it.

i wish there could be a small sequel, to the book where we get to See the Characters all grown up, and i wish this book, could become a movie.

I loved how the writer showed, flashbacks of Julie and Sam, cause we got to see What the relationship was like before Sam died.

that's all i have to say on this book. I hope to read more by this author cause His books and writing we’re so beautiful

I expected a bit more if this book, since it was recommended so often. But I can't deny that this still was a beautiful story in the end. Grief and life after grief is a difficult story topic. Not gonna lie, I also was not ready to say goodbye to this book yet when it ended. ^^'

A relatively quick read once I sat down and focused but even that was hard because I didn’t feel particularly invested. I understood why Julie was so uninvolved in the aftermath of Sam’s death but without the investment in their relationship I didn’t particularly care about her emotional journey. I had expectations (unfortunately) thanks to Bookstagram which were failed. Had there been no hype I would have enjoyed this book more.

It was overhyped. I hate how I had high expectations for this. I couldn't even get emotionally invested. I desperately needed a good cry but unfortunately not a single tear came out. It's so bad I'd give this a zero but that's not possible so I'd give this a one.
