I gasped when cadence talked about her accident it broke my heart 
I loved how descriptive the author was for the first few chapters 
"I wanted to go back with a book" me too cadence
Gat flirting was so funny really brought some brightness to the awkwardness
"The universe was good because  he was in it"
My heart hurt for cadence  after she found out gat kept something  from her 
"The universe is seeming really huge right now I need something to hold onto" gat said
"I'm here"
THE KISS YES!! IM SO HAPPY
Granny tipper😭
Mummy should of been nicer and let the kids grieve
How I hated mummy she was a drunk and loved to manipulate her kids I definitely feel this book was overhyped I hope book 2 redeems my hope for this
I feel this book would of been 10x better if it was longer and was more descriptive other then that the end pulled it to together for me
I hated the family and how mommy and granddad were such assholes to the kids and wanted to spilt gat and cadence up just because he's not white like take your racist bullshit elsewhere
We finally learn that Cady didn't hit her head on a swimming injury and it was a fire injury instead.
"I have lost you, gat because of how desperately,desperately I fell in love"
'It's good to be loved even though it will not last"
"Be a little kinder"
"Shut up I'm 10 already"

*nervously laughed* what an ending. I couldn’t really count what TWs I should add, because a slow, misleading start, leads to an heartbreaking (and maybe a little predictable) and twisty end. 
As a reader you directly focus on Cadence thoughts, being torn apart, which makes the writing style at first a little distracting/bricky, but is totally understandable—because that’s how Cadence injured mind works. 
We follow her through every emotion, and even in this fast paced novel, it was perfectly enough to cope with—until the end.

The first half is good, but then the liars keep acting weird and bam the plot. Over all this book is highly entertaining and does not require much thinking. Since the whole book is about the plot, maybe i won't read it again.
