This was a bit of a weird book, beware of spoilers below.
I will say I enjoyed It, but upon reflection I'm not really sure how to feel about it. It's really hard to do short romance, and as the premise of this book takes place over 24 hours, the romance feels a bit raw and incomplete. I suppose that's fair given what they are going through, but the time frame makes it feel too short for the romance to truly blossom.
Some people have said they found the slang cringy, but I thought the audio book sold it well, so it didn't bother me much.
I do love alternate POV's in books, but there were too many that didn't really go anywhere, and I found this book a bit aimless in direction. The characters gripped me, but I personally felt like they had a better story to tell than they ended up delivering.
The title delivered, and it was sad, but I was left disappointed, rather than emotional.
