A really great book, but the ending was not my favorite. I thought it was going to be a rom com, or at least a romance/drama, but the romance aspect was really more between two besties (still ended up loving them though). But even though we knew it was coming,
I still hated the Aaron hook up because I was rooting so hard for Bella and Aaron from the get-go. I was really hoping for a shocking twist, like Dannie got into a horrible accident and ended up being an organ donor for Bella, and her flash forward was actually into Bella’s POV as she was living and healthy.
I really really wanted the ending to go differently. But otherwise, I loved this book, and it was so sad and beautiful.
