I couldn't connect with the characters, I felt nothing and the story was pretty unoriginal.
It wasn't bad but it wasn't for me.

Ok, I get the hype. I thought it was just a fluffly romance. But this book made me feel things.
The ending threw me off tho. It has two endings and I was doing immersive reading and in the audiobook I had the US version and in the ebook I had the UK version and I didn’t know there were two endings… that was so confusing. But oh well. Now I know authors do that type of shit. Just do one ending, jeeeez 🤦🏽♀️
There I say: I liked the UK ending better. The US one was too cheesy. The UK one felt more like the characters.
And their books! Gus’s meteor ending to his book was both hilarious and beautiful and I loved it. And January’s ending to her book with the wildflowers was sweet and hopeful. I think one of my fav things of this book was to read their experiences as writers.
Also: I wasn’t fan of his dad’s mistress. But the story putting January in the same position as Sonya blew my mind. I didn’t see that coming. It added dimensionality. You understand that humans are complex and there’s no right or wrong. And you know that in a world where her mom didn’t get cancer, he would probably would have stayed with Sonya. So no matter what happened in January’s life, her childhood wasn’t bound to be perfect.
Also her dad was a jackass. How dare he use Sonya like that? He toyed with her. He never truly loved her. He just loved that she loved him.
And obviously I loved Gus. The nonchalant that was head-over-heels for the girl all along. He just didn’t know how to act. Typical!! Feeding our delulu minds 😆
Update: I didn’t give it 5 stars because: I didn’t cry and even tho I loved so many things about this book and Gus and Janie’s interaction was so deep and the plot twist with Sonya was also so deep, the book really didn’t keep me in a chokehold. Those are the two things I consider when I give 5 stars.
That I cry and that I eat them up. That doesn’t mean that I didn’t love it.
