This book had me in the biggest chokehold and I read 300 in a day. Yes, that's a lot. It's inspiring i a way and it'll make you think about things differently once you finish it.
Duclan's backstory is the saddest thing ever. The way he experiences emotions through this books is so insane. I felt so bad for him so many times, I mean his parents were shitty and the way he saw himself and hinted of suicide sometimes was just heartbreaking. Juliett's mom made me want to rip the book apart, like what the hell was she thinking. Emotions are portrayed incredibly in this book. The plot itself is so unique and just cool that you are taken by it. I would have prefered if we saw more of the actual relationship between them than the last two pages or so.
Overall this book had me hooked and I definitely recommend it!
