inspiring reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

this was a pretty good read, although i have to admit i didn't completely fall in love with it the way most people did. the second half of the book was definitely better for me than the first, but overall it was an enjoyable book.

Such a sweet take on two kids falling in love and discovering the world and themselves, how to deal with their "ecotones". My heart is theirs. Just love, love, love. ❤️

I loved it. There are no words to describe how amazing this book was. It made me feel every emotion so deeply and it really tugged on my heartstrings. I was so invested in these characters and i literally couldn't put it down.
