As expected super emotional but I feel like I almost ruined the reading experience since I have seen the movie and had certain expectations. The only thing I would’ve hoped for is more of them as teenagers on that first summer together. Other than that I loved the way you slowly learn about their connection. I don’t think it’s common in romance books anymore for there to be such a wide breath of a relationship covered and explored. Especially in such a deep and emotional way.
