  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes

4.0

This was overall a cute read and I only have one major critique point (which basically influenced my whole view on the book) but let's start with the really important stuff.
  • Taylor Swift's »august« was absolutely the soundtrack to their past and what the book starts with and that is a fact.
  • My imagination could not comprehend, that Olivia was taller than Margot.
The critique:
  • There was a conversation, the one where they cleared up their past misunderstandings, their miscommunications and (wrong) assumptions. But the whole conversation ended rather abruptly and without really solving everything and also a little without warning (reminder: this is my opinion). I was sitting there in tears while they'd apparently had already made up and... It felt so anticlimactic. Like this whole worked up to this and then it was just. Abrupt. For me, it destroyed the whole mood and vibe of the book. The author could've made this so epic and heart wrenching because it had so much potential, but no... So that frustrated me and made me a little sad as well.
