An emotional story about love and a lot of lost. This book has me crying at the end. Tears aside, there wasn't much story and it had many repetitive moments.
I felt like our main characters were very similar to each other. Their tone and way of speech would be hard to distinguish as they both have the same style and even a similar friend. The only thing separating them would be their careers.
While the plot moved fast, I would say it's more of a character story. It was all filled with emotion, grief and regret. So if you want to feel pain, definitely pick this up because it is all pain - in a good soul crushing way of course.
There were the sweet moments and my heart melted in many areas. But after the halfway mark with similar thoughts and actions, I would preferred something different. I want to see character development and for the plot to advanced instead of moving back to square one. However, maybe that adds to the realness because grief isn't easy to move on from.
Overall, this is an emotional read. I found loveable characters, a simple plot and a heart aching end. I just wanted more story in it and more development instead of it being stuck in one spot.
