Heartbreaking. First time I've ever cried over a book. I recommend this if you are looking for sapphic, sad romance. 

Joan's death made me so extremely upset. I thought she was getting better when she went into the rehabilitation center and was shocked to find out she had died. Finding out Steph and Aria didn't work out really made me feel hurt. Both things together made me cry. Analemma being confused  about Joan's death really hurt me aswell. The poor dog will never know what happened. This book goes from a teen summer romance to a sad story about death and mistakes really fast.
This book is amazing when it comes to sad books. I enjoyed reading it.
