I’ll come back to this when I’m ready but dam.
ok writing this after finishing the second book and leik ok review is kind mixed up bc i just finished the second book but i just feel leik ok first of all:
this book was a perfect tragic love story as it has an enticing jawing storyline that i can appreciate
and it def gave me all the feels
and bc it was exactly what it needed to be it made a perf set up to have a second book bc leik i enjoyed it sm i had to read the next book which is great in a book bc it shows that i needed more and the more i got was great 😁
def fell in love with Finn in this book tbh Autumn she’s interesting fs
and what happens is just devastating and idk that’s all i can rly think abt when it comes to the book which is what i mean by it gets the job done yk it wasn’t leik absolutely insane but just good enough
good enough for me to finish in leik two days
i will say the writing and pacing at times were fs iffy
i understand how it can feel rushed at the end but i feel leik THAYS appropriate considering how things were basically rushed for autumn so leik i don’t mind that
buttt i do mind the long journey of going through her hs years LEIK boy wat the hell boy leik i understand the lessons that were supposed to be take from those chapters and how it showed leik her changes as a character throughout hs but leik idk man i just idk man
