UGH
still thinking abt how i feel abt that ending
BUT YK WHAT FUCKED ME UP BRU JACKS POV LEKL UGHH i had no idea the book was gonna have multiple POVs and tbh Jack’s hurt me the most… and i honestly would’ve been happy with the book ending with his
i breezed through his POV of the book even tho i wanted it to last and tbh wasn’t rly wasnt too stoked to hear from Autumn again LOL oops but leik I’m just being real
jack’s POV gave such strong mothers grieving moments that it genuinely hurt me sm 😭😭 and his pov to things was vry unique to hear
also the fact that leik jack’s connection with finn was in high school which wasn’t too long ago so leik not to diminish Autumns connection with Finn but leik hers still felt new but Jack had leik a five year streak with Finn so leik imagining his pain with everything just made his feelings feel so so so strong and real that i was just leik dam ESP THE FUCKING ROOMATE THE DAM ROOMSATE BRU.
whereas leik yeah Autumns journey through grief and leik stuff is just as important but leik the scenes became a bore at one point bc it was the same thing repeating leik at one point it was a cycle of her and the moms going baby shopping and then her hanging with Angie and leik newer characters get added to her story way late into the book that it’s leik meh idk wasn’t rly vibing with her part
anyways most important.. FINNYS POV FUCK.
didn’t make me sad but it def amplified the feelings of sadness id feel later on
he’s just such a likable character to an extent LOL
it’s mostly the way he fawns over autumn LEIK BRO SAID SHE WAS THE CLOSEST THING HE HAS TO A RELIGION LEIK HOLY FUCKK ACTUAL BARS
leik the way nowlin depicted his love for Autumn was so dam cute and just dam.
they did Sylvia wrong tho 😹
