Beautiful writing.

This is what people think Romeo and Juliet is like… a bit dramatic and unnecessarily tragic

Trying to change my mind about second person, I see you Erin. 

This is a mixed perspectives book, there was first, second and third person. And that aspect was not as chaotic as you might think it was.

I liked the story better the further I got into the book. I enjoyed the characters and the entire concept. I actually think this would do much better as a tv show/limited series (maybe a movie but I think we’d lose something with that)  than it is as a book and I think it’s a good book.
