What a wonderful tearjerker. I don’t want to elaborate because frankly that might tell too much to other potential readers. Just read it when you’re in the mood for a romance-tearjerker. It’s an exemplary tale in that specific genre.

Moderate: Bullying, Stalking, Toxic friendship, Sexual harassment, Violence, Confinement, Death, Panic attacks/disorders, Cancer, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Grief, Medical content, Toxic relationship, Child death, Chronic illness, Gaslighting, and Alcohol

Some of these more aggressive content warnings are there in the book but it’s all in a subjective vein about how aggressive those things are or not. It leaves it up to you the reader to decide. Just for goodness sake give this book a read.

There are some issues with how a character death was handled. That said, I was so emotionally impacted by the overall story and message that I cried until my eyes swelled and I couldn't breathe. Totally worth it. I also flew through it and thought the art was very complementary.

How could I not love this. I did not know going in how much this would mean to me. It was cute, funny, shocking and heartbreaking. This just became one of my fave books of the year. The amount of tears I cried from when she died until the ending.
