I had higher expectations for this book tbh. The pacing was all over the place. The "before" sections were just a sequence of memories and dreams flowing into each other and the "after" sections we just too lengthy and it just felt like Julie was being so incredibly selfish. I understand grief and how it is different for everyone but she was honestly insufferable.

I bought the book because a lot of people were talking about it and saying it made them cry. But honestly it didn’t make me cry that much… The main character had me annoyed at times but it wasn’t bad enough for me to stop reading the book. Also I buddy read this with a friend of mine and reading it together with someone is indeed more fun and made reading this book more interesting.
The book was okay I did enjoy reading it, just some stuff got to me haha

Once i got into this book it was beautiful but i just can’t give it a higher rating just because of how awfully long the chapters were.. 30 pages per chapter on average should be illegal-

Julie wasn't exactly a likeable character throughout the story but the other characters and plot made up for it. I'm not sure I would've finished this book if I didn't buddy read it with someone. I didn't start enjoying the story until about 60% in. Most of my enjoyment was coming from reading it with my friend. I am glad I finished it though but Julie made it hard to enjoy the book at times lol.
