It only took me a day to read this and not because it's good but because it's so bad I can't put it down. Conrad and Belly I just can't with them they're both so immature. I don't get why it's so hard for Conrad to just say how he feels and stop trying to be all tough about it because literally nobody wants him to be that way. The overall plot of this book I mean it took place over only a few days so not that much really happened. I enjoyed the exploration of grief and that's about all I could say good about the plot. The only reason this isn't rated lower is because of that plot point and Jeremiah. If she doesn't end up with Jeremiah, Conrad must have some major character development.  Oh and Taylor? Why in the world is Belly friends with her. All Taylor does is boss Belly around and try to dismiss Belly's grief over someone who was like a mother to her. What kind of person does that
