5.0

What an emotional roller coaster this was, and I mean that in the absolute best way possible. Every time I thought I knew what was coming, the story got turned on its head, and it was great.

As much as I enjoyed Solitaire, this was a huge step up. I have read three of Oseman’s four books so far and I can definitively say this was the best. 

I loved the characters, I loved the storyline, I loved it all. One note would be that the content and pop culture references may feel slightly outdated the further from 2014 we get, though that didn’t matter to me as I was involved in the Tumblr scene for quite a while. Though, if you hadn’t been on Tumblr around that time, some of those references may be lost. In saying this, I think that could be looked past for the rest of the story, as it does not rely too heavily on the reader’s knowledge of 2014 Tumblr.

Would definitely recommend and will probably be a book I reread for years to come.
