Really sweet and creative story! It is sad, but somehow still lighthearted

This was a cute book! I am picky with my romance novels, and this was heartbreaking, but a fun read at the same time. It was insta-lovey which can be cringey for me, but it held up well! This was my first Nicola Yoon book.

This was a hard book to finish. The actual story plot was not my favorite but the writing was so so good. The MC is a high school senior so she is immature in some ways but that is a given.

The cheating and deaths are just not my favorite.

Nicola Yoon is indeed my favorite YA author. This was a fun, easy, and very insightful read. Looking forward to reading more works of hers!

why would you write something this sad, when I thought it was going to be a rom-com? ughhh, currently heartbroken. I loved every page of this book, especially the ending tbh. it is so important to never forget that it's the journey that matters, not the ending. also, I fell in love with X. one of my favorite male characters now <3

She always does this to me!!! I swear I wanna fight her for always breaking my heart! I like her writing style, the in and out of it all. This is an exciting speculative YA romance about a girl that gets to see people’s love stories (the beginning through to the end) and how she deals with that while also dealing with her dad getting remarried pretty quickly after cheating on her mom and causing their divorce and also learning how to dance ballroom. I highly recommend this book and Ms. Nicola Yoon, I am also so proud of you!
