I liked it a lot and became pretty attached to the friendship formed between Will, Stella, and Poe. Especially Will and Stella since they were the main focus of the book. I do admit I kind of wish that the book was less fast paced and let us see into their characters a little bit more. At times the characters felt one dimensional and served the purpose of being only a romance and that their CF was just a tool to push them together. Nonetheless its a fun lighthearted read with a lot of emotional moments that really hit you in the feels. 

As the book progressed I definitely enjoyed it a lot more. Especially in the slower more detailed parts. Will and Stella’s conflict with the lives they lived was very compelling.

Ps) Poe remained both my favorite character and the one I’ll hold the closest to my heart <3
