I loved how we got to see Rune and Poppy's relationship from both perspectives, especially from childhood to the end since I'm a sucker for the childhood best friends to lovers trope. The story itself and the events that unfolded had definitely made me sob, I won't lie. But God, I HATED how Rune was written to be this broody, angsty, edgelord teenager. 😭 His narrative was so cringey at times that I HAD to put the book down from all the second-hand embarrassment and cringe that I felt.
