This book broke me.

I mean my heart is broken to pieces… and then this book took it and threw it on the floor and stepped on it.

The whole book was such a lovely story to read and i love how vulnerable the characters got with each other… but the ending… the ending had me bawling my eyes out.

There were moments so raw and intense you could tell the storyline  was really close to the author. 

I just finished reading the novel and i still can’t comprehend it. The quotes in this book are next level and the tension between the characters is just *chef’s kiss*. 

I love how the characters are flawed and that’s what book mostly focuses on because it is an actual depiction of how people are.

 I will definitely recommend it to everyone looking for a good summer read… just be warned about the ending.
