yet another book that did not need a sequel, if anything this could have been a novella or tacked on to the end of the first book. there were so many plot points within this that were barely touched on that felt unfinished and cut short. parts of it i enjoyed like
the metaphor with the hole in their baby’s heart which represents the whole in autumn’s
. but it was SO predictable and just not necessary. i enjoyed hearing finnys and jacks perspectives, but finnys was much more essential to the story and it could have ended after his.
why did this lowkey romanticize teen pregnancy as well
