No. It was a big 'No' from me. Sorry but I tried enjoying this book, but I just couldn't.
By the title self you know what's going to happen yet there's still a little hope that it's all not true.
This is the most I have taken to read a book, and I was looking forward to it.
The world building at some point was just confusing and I had to reread the same paragraph over and over to understand what I was reading.
The characters were lovable, I loved their friendship but that's it. They should've been only friends. I feel like Adam forced a MLM relationship between the main characters when it needn't. The main characters were better off as 'platonic soulmates', because that's what they were.
The first two part were boring, I couldn't get past it, I felt that I was reading the same thing over again but just different POV. Some say the chapters were short but form me they felt infinite.
The last two parts became a little bit more interesting because something was finally happening.
I'm someone that cries for nothing and to say this book didn't make me cry like I would've wanted too is a bit disappointing. Yes, I shed a few tears but that was it.
Also, to make it throughout the book I had to go and read the last chapter to get motivation. That's how bad it was for me.
