Honestly at the beginning of this book, I really liked it. The honeymoon to Australia was a really good set up and it was cute. I thought the beginning showed grief really well and showed what heartbreak really feels like. Along with the grief of losing someone you loved and being afraid to move on. I thought it was good. But good god did it lose me. It just got so bad so fast dude. Like as soon as they arrived back from Australia it was just so not good. Like, what even?? 
I can’t explain how frustrating of a narrator and how bad of a character Annie is. Like girl you are the definition of self sabotage. And also, like, respectfully, Patrick deserved better than that. 
Anyways. Hated it. That’s all.
