Ok ouchhhhh. I can't lie it did take me 2 months to finish this book, but damnnnnn it was worth it. What everyone says about the last 50 pages is true.
Honestly, I wanted to rate this book a lot lower. Like maybe 2.25. I did not vibe with Julie and the other characters weren't fleshed out enough. It also gives Wattpad-era. However the end of the book did make my heart hurt a lot (even tho I'd accidentally read a spoiler).
So yeah. Is it worth reading? I'm still not sure. But the answer is probably not unless you want to feel anger at the quality of writing until sadness at the end of the book.
