emotional hopeful inspiring sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

The plot had soooo much potential, but the execution was just not it. I mean, yes it was sad and I cried (not as much as I thought I would tho), but the writing style was too much. The book just reminded me of a bad wattpad story, most of it was so cheesy and cringe. I couldn't take Poppy and Rune seriously. In what world does a seventeen-year-old speak like that??

Even though I didn't like it that much, I can see why some people love it. I can see how good this book could've been. It was so hard to decide how I should rate this book because of that. It had some moments that deserved at least four stars, but then, some scenes didn't deserve even one.
