love this idea and how it plays out. not obsessed with the execution. it reads like Normal People in how there’s little stories for each time period to show how the characters feel about each other but since that writing style is purposely fleeting i felt like it lacked depth for the premise. i also wish she saw olive more after high school.

It was a mostly enjoyable, easy read. At times, it veered on the boring side as there wasn't a lot of action. It was mostly angst slapped on angst, but it all resolved in a way I was pleased with.

Very addicting read.. I finished it in a day! Really makes you think about love and loss, and I found it really easy to connect with each character. It was kind of predictable at times, but I still loved it!
