I can't believe how much i loved this book. The story of both Libby and Jack is so inspiring, it had me shedding a few tears a few times throughout the book. The way they shed light on their imperfections and didn't let that define them was so admirable.

Gosh this book was so cheesy. Lina the main character was very hard to tolerate in the beginning. She was kinda annoying because of how long she dragged conversations/arguments due to her stubbornness. Also, her quirkiness was a bit much at times and sometimes kinda cringe. All in all, it's a cute story and i loved how caring Aaron was to her in her weak moments. I think Aaron is what made this book a good read.

CoHo did it again with this book. As soon as I started reading i was enthralled. I absolutely love Owen. It was definitely a mystery as to what their huge confessions were and when you find it it will leave you gasping.

The beginning was really slow for me and i almost stopped reading. I'm not a fan of 3rd person pov but I'm so glad i kept reading. It was such a breathtaking story. So sad yet beautiful.

Ugh SO GOOD!!!!!! I immediately fell in love with the characters. I found myself crying and laughing with them. The rest I'm about to say has SPOILERS so go away if you haven't read yet!! <SPOILER>I really wish we got to read more about Kenna and Diem's relationship once they met. Only got about 2 chapters.. REALLY COLLEEN?!? I wanna read more about baby Scotty too and how an amazing dad Ledger becomes to both Scotty and Diem. I would also really like to know if Roman ever actually has the guts to finally talk to the baker.<SPOILER> Colleen if you're reading this please give us another book!

The book started off slow. When i started reading this book i thought it was going to be so predictable. I thought i knew exactly how it was going to end. But boy was i wrong. The plot twist had me in shambles. Sadly,  the plot twist was the only exciting thing that happened in the book. I agree with the others about there barely being a plot. Only finished it for my peace of mind as well. Sometimes random characters were introduced and redundantly gave a whole life story about them. I feel like most of them were not important to the story. It was a good read but just not something i would recommend to all my friends.

The way it's narrated was very nice. Has a huge twist at the end that i was not expecting at all. Shook me to the core. I laughed and i cried. Definitely not what i was expecting when i started reading this book.

2nd time reading. It was tough rereading it a second time know how it was gonna turn out but it's still one of my fav books nonetheless. I wanted to re read it so i can be refreshed before reading It Starts With Us. 4.75 stars.

1st time reading:This book was so amazing and sad. I just couldn't put it down i was able to read it in 2 days. I really had no idea what i i was expecting this book to be about but it definitely surprised me. It hit a little close to home at some points, so this book will forever hold a special place in my heart. 5 stars
