3.0
Quick and enjoyable read, although I think I may have finally aged out of the "...but we didn't know we liked each other" miscommunication trope. Also, the plot is predominately moved along solely by foreshadowing for most of the book, so you will probably see the twists and turns coming from miles away.
Moderate: Sexual content, Child death, Toxic relationship, Suicide attempt, Death, and Suicidal thoughts
