This was a really novel and heartbreaking premise. The author did it justice with just how difficult and lonely it would be to view people with an expiry date and potentially not ever giving yourself permission to get closer to them, and regretting it when you do because you know when they will be gone forever from your life.
I cried a few times during this because I so strongly empathised with the protagonist losing her mother and being afraid to get closer to someone because she's inevitably going to get hurt again. Well done indeed. I would recommend this book if you like lots of angst and cute characters. I did enjoy the refreshingly open persuit of the romance. Unlike most romance novels, there was no misunderstanding or confusion, just a straightforward attraction and steadily getting closer to each other openly, which is very nice to see, especially in a book about younger people.
