(dont ask me why i purposely choose to read books that i know will tear me to shreds, bring me to tears, and put me in a weeks long depressive episode)
no book has ever crushed me the way this one has. i knew that Finny was going to die going into the book and it didn’t make it any less heart shattering. my hands are still shaking. i don’t know why anyone would ever choose to end a story this way but i also see the poetic-ness of it. i loved that throughout the book it was simple and realistic. i’ve seen people say it was boring but i think that was the point?
the book starts out when Autumn is starting her Freshman year of high-school. a real teenagers life isn’t always going to be full of chaos. not everything is big and exciting. life and love can be simple. and i believe that what what this author was trying to show.
lets start with Autumn. it was hard to like her at the beginning but i kept reminding myself she is still very young. she did have an “I’m not like other girls” mentality in the first half and that was what bugged me. i didn’t understand the tiaras. but i loved her so much more in the last half as she got older and started to mature a little bit. she grew on me so much and i will be crying for this girl for a long. long. time.
Finny— Finny. Finny. Finny. my heart hurts so much for this boy. he deserved so much better. in every single way. the fact he went years thinking that Autumn didn’t want to be his friend because he thought she didn’t want him. he tried so hard at the end to rebuild what they had. i cant believe after everything it still had to end with him dying. even after them getting closure and finally ending up together, he still died. my mind isn’t processing it and i don’t think it ever will.
Jamie. fuck you Jamie. I knew he was going to cheat on her. i just knew it. i hated him from the beginning and thats all i have to say. (Sasha fuck you too)
in all honesty i wish that Autumn died at the end instead of surviving. i don’t know if thats bad to think, but it would have been a better ending in my opinion. i don’t like that she now feels stuck living because of being pregnant. shes not living for herself. hopefully you understand what i’m saying.
i will be stuck thinking about this book for a long time. it was beautiful. tragic. heartwarming. and frustrating in more ways than one.
my heart has been broken and i hate this book for it but love it so much at the same time.

It was very fast paced and felt like a child had written it. The plot was okay however the ending would have been better if she hadn't woken up

Sobbed. Talk about forbidden love. The build up to adore the characters only for it to be ripped away just within reach. Still think about this book months later
i cried.
its the second book ive cried over.
there were a few typos towards the end, but it might just be my new favourite book.
shes pregnant. shes going to live for the baby. “it wouldnt be like having him back. not really. but it would be better than not having him at all.”
chapter 88 with her imagining finnys response was so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

Um. That was a weird ride. I hate that she wears tiaras and that I share the same name with a loser. This ending is heavy.. not sure how I feel about this one. Definitely overhyped but not terrible.
