This book is so fucking sad and slow paced. I read it in 3 days and loved it.

I didnā€™t expect to even like this book. Iā€™m not one for the ā€œbest friendā€™s brotherā€ trope or wattpad writers, but here I am ugly sobbing over it. 

The characters are lovable in a heartbreaking sort of way. Truman was really relatable to me, which isnā€™t something I say about many characters. I cried in probably every chapter from his POV. 

This book is probably not for everyone. Not much gets resolved plot-wise, and the characters blaming themselves for Katieā€™s accident is constant and not very logical, but thatā€™s just how grief is.

I really liked that the two main characters handled their grief and depression in different ways.
