4.5 out of 5 stars!
Starting this review with being completely honest: I wouldn’t say this was or would be a 5 stars read to a lot of readers, but I personally can’t seem to bring myself rating this lower or not round up to a full rating. The story felt too genuine and relatable and it very much spoke to me.
The author has a unique way with telling/writing her books. I’ve only read one other book by her (excluding this one) and both of her stories feel like they’re going to stick with you for a very long time.
I’m looking forward for her writing more books and making her readers root for the characters (even though some of them seem annoying at first) and make us feel things.
**********************************
Before adding this book to my tbr-list, I was already familiar with this author, as I have read 'Don't You Forget About Me'(yes, the main reason I read that book was because of the title) about 3 years ago and I enjoyed it. But in this book's case, it was actually the synopsis that captured my interest and made me want to read it.
I know it's spooky month and all and I should read horror/mystery/thriller, but I waited for this book for almost three months! And I haven't seen a single bad review of this book, more reason to read this as ASAP as possible.

i bought everything this book was trying to sell me aside from the romance. the portrayal of grief and friendship was very honest and very real, and extraordinarily moving. but i just don’t like any of these people and also did not see or believe in the romance. that doesn’t change the fact that this is an exceptional novel, though. i just wish i cared about the romance a little more.

Don’t let the cutesy cover trick you. This is a story about friendship, mourning, and overcoming grief. Still, I enjoyed it and ended up loving how the story developed unexpectedly.

This is a beautiful story about grief and friendship. I highly recommend if you are looking for not your typical rom com.

Okay so like idk how to rate this because this book was NOT what I was expecting but I still enjoyed it. I was expecting a fluffy, second-chance romance between friends and while there was like a little romance, its only a small part of this book. This book is SUPER sad!!!!
