I absolutely loved this book! It made me feel so many emotions, it made me sob like not a lot of books did
It was so close to getting a 5 star but I was a bit annoyed by a few things, such as the "bad boy/good girl" trope in the middle of the book, their romance was adorable but super cliché at times, I'm not against it but in that case I was a bit disappointed by it
The relationship between Rune and his father and brother got me in tears more than once
This book is super inspiring to me, live your life fully and enjoy small things
I loved it but actually would not recommend it that much because I can see why a lot of people wouldn't like it
It made me feel things I haven't felt in a long time because of a book and I'm so glad I picked it up at this bookstore
The concept of the kisses jar was so cute I had to make one for myself
Honestly I guessed almost the entire plot but it doesn't make it bad
I liked it a lot from the beginning and was scared it might not be satisfying but it sure was
I probably loved it that much because my 2 favorite tropes are in this book : childhood friend to lovers and right person not enough time
