SPOILERS
The first half of the book this seemed like a book I would have written in middle school. Too many words, and a manic pixie dream pulled straight out of a John Green novel. I liked/enjoyed the first half based on nostalgia alone. However, the second half dealt more with the loss of love than I expected. I didn’t get attached enough to the characters to have their losses hurt, but it provided a new way to look at love. Overall, a book about the complicated ebbing nature of love.
