If there's happiness tucked away in my tragedies, I'll find it no matter what. If the blind can find joy in music, and the deaf can discover it with colors, I will do my best to always find the sun in the darkness because my life isn't one sad ending - it's a series of endless happy beginnings.

Only cried a little and found it hard to get attached to the character. I loved they both die at the end so I was a little disappointed reading more happy than not.

I did not like the characters and was angry with thomas (don't know how to put it I was just furious with him) definitely considering who he ends up with. I did although like the little bit of si-fi in the book.

Okay, okay yes the book was sad but I have read sadder and I could not find a reason to like Aaron which made it even harder to feel bad about him <spoilers> losing his memories.

You may like it but I did not enjoy it, please do not let this make you totally abandon the book, please do try it. You might like it.

i loved this book, definitely tied for my favorite with aristotle and dante. if you struggle with any form of mental illness i definitely recommend being in a good head space for reading this (heavily deals with suicide and is mentioned often). i related to aaron in so many ways and i feel like the story explained what it’s like to be a teenager in a way. the story was unpredictable which made it impossible to put down until i finished. i honestly bought this book because i loved they both die at the end, but i’m so glad i did since it’s so underrated. i think there’s a sequel in the making and i’m really excited to read that when it comes out. i also think it’s being turned into a movie?!? i just hope whoever plays aaron looks like the illustration on the book cover that i have. <spoilers> i honestly don’t think a book has ever made me cry more. i felt every emotion aaron went through and i wanted him to find happiness so badly. every time something bad would happen to him i had to put down the book and take a deep breath because i felt so bad. the plot twist shocked me and made me go back to read some of the beginning since it completely changed the meaning of everything that happened. thomas made me so mad. he led on aaron so much then dated his ex girlfriend?!? that’s so messed up. if a sequel to this book does come out i really think thomas is going to come out and try to get with aaron which will make me so mad. and how could thomas date genevieve after she took advantage of aaron how she did... i would never forgive either of them if i were aaron (even though they stuck with him during his amnesia but still, what they did was unforgivable).

i did not finish this book because at this time i am very sensitive to the topic of suicide. i picked it up because it was by adam silvera without reading the description and it just isn’t a good time. i fully plan to pick this up again in the future.

DNF’ed at 35%. I have liked some of Silvera’s other books so I gave this a shot. I just couldn’t get into it and found that I didn’t care to read on about what happened with the characters. Once I realized that DNF’ing was an option I was immediately over it. (I swear, I’m a goldfish that sometimes forgets this.) I’m sure many people like this, but it wasn’t for me.
