Thank you Netgalley for my gifted copy in exchange for an honest review. 

Hands down the best Max Monroe book. I was NOT prepared for this one. I absolutely loved this heartbreakingly beautiful story. At 65% in I didn’t know if I could finish this one because I knew this book would devastate me. I quickly fell in love with Norah, Bennet and sweet Summer. I highly recommend this one, but be prepared with some tissues.
