I don't have enough words. Because I feel too much. But I ugly cried. I cried on my husband's shoulder, and then I read the authors note and cried again. And I read the end of the acknowledgements and cried again.
Nothing that raises that kind of emotion in me deserves less than 5 stars. But I see how one couldn't handle what this book is saying. This is not a happy story, but... it has its moments

What an emotional rollercoaster. the balance between each character chapter is well written so it doesnt become boring and i really enjoyed developing my own reader opinions using both character POVs. NIven brings a light to a really sensitive topic without using rose-tinted glasses to hide the brutal truth of it. Her words are so perfectly used to create a tragic, heart-breaking story without moving away from the sadness of it.

This was not an easy book to read. I took a few breaks to feel my feelings before picking it back up. That being said, Jennifer Niven did an amazing job of showing Violet and Finch’s worlds colliding, melding, and ripping apart.

I really liked how raw and emotional this was, but I feel like for the whole point of the story to be the new found relationship between Violet and Finch, it wasn’t capitalized on as much as it should have been. I feel like the plot was more centered around death than anything, so fair warning if you’re sensitive to that. But other than that I felt really attached to the characters and I looked forward to reading more each day and it definitely made me cry in the end I can tell you that.
