First of all a big f**k you to my reading playlist for playing ‘See You Later (ten years) ’ by Jenna Raine, not once but TWICE while I was reading this. Both time in which were already during emotional moments! I did not deserve that.
That aside, I loved Dustin Thao’s writing style. All the flashbacks and memories were seamlessly interwoven, and I felt like I could see it all playing out in my head like a movie. There were some moments and pieces of dialogue that I found to be slightly cliche and cheesy but overall this was a solid book. Extra points for it making me cry for the last 4 pages.
