Finally knocked this off of my TBR list after TEN YEARS. I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much, but I also know if I had read it 10 years ago… I’d have somehow liked it even more.

My biggest gripe was that conveniently RIGHT before everything escalates is the moment Lake recognizes the irresponsibility of their relationship. It’s written as quite a revelation, yet she throws it to the wind almost immediately after the climax.

Loved this! It made me laugh, it made me cry and I surprisingly enjoyed the poetry too!

Reading a book about a student/teacher relationship was not on my itinerary for this year, but here we are. If I wanted to read wattpad, I would go on wattpad. I do not need that kind of low-effort problematic romance when I choose to read an actual book. I think my personal favourite part was when **spoilers** a nine year old boy dressed up as his mother's cancerous lungs for Halloween, and said mother willingly made the costume. If someone hadn't already bought me the rest of the series, I wouldn't touch either of the following books with a ten foot pole, but unfortunately they're on my bedroom floor so I guess I have to read them. The only thing stopping this book from being one star was the fact that it was so damn easy to read. I flew through it, and I hated every second of it.

Beautiful story! I love when I can feel the emotion oozing out of the book. This one definitely had me teary-eyed.
