Signs of You by Emily France
3.0
3 stars. I really liked the friendship aspect, and the ending was heartwarming but a little sad at the same time. I loved Noah, and Kate was a laugh, and the relationships between Riley and her friends gave me the warm and fuzzies.
However, I didn't like Jay, I found him irritating and 2 dimensional, and some of the phrases and actions of the group made it very, very clear that it wasn't a teenager writing it. The trying-hard-to-be-relateable-to-the-teens aspect really drew me out of the story and made me cringe, same with some of the chapter titles. It felt more like a 2007 YA book than a 2016 YA book, if you know what I mean.
Overall an entertaining read that looks at grief and loss in a new light.
