this book is a lot to take in.
i cried too much, to the point that in certain parts, i couldn’t breathe.
i usually loathe books with male characters as main characters because i couldn’t relate to them, but kyle is definitely not that type of protagonist. he’s very thoughtful, open, understanding, selfless, and overall, a wonderful person. in all honesty, i disliked marley at the start, but she grew to me as i read the book.
what threw me off is that sometimes, their dialogues became too cheesy. i also don’t see their dialogue as something people their age would use. it’s your typical ya romance, but with a depressing twist.
overall, i enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it for anyone who loves five feet apart or the fault in our stars.
