I really liked this book. I found myself always wanting to read more which is a good sign. I loved the Riva siblings but HATED their dad. I found their story so sad but it was narrated so well and it was every insightful to me. The bond the siblings had was so cute too!The narrator described lots of people not just one and I loved the flashbacks that were there. The end was a little disappointing but ended happy more than sad which I actually think I liked more . There were plot twists that I didn’t see coming at all. And characters I shipped ended up together too.I loved the happy end and how fast the book went.
