I really did like this book, but at some points, it was so hard to read. The time these people lost just because they refused to communicate. It seriously irks me. But I love how much Macy and Elliot love each other. It's crazy that they never stopped, even after 11 years of no contact. But I can't get over how stubborn Macy is. Like yes, you have trauma, but honey, you had 11 years to go to therapy. And now you're making it everyone else's problem. Girl, please. And Elliot pining over Macy for so long? Sure it's cute but a little pathetic. He had 11 years to go to therapy too. Two very stubborn people. I feel bad for Rachel.
