For days now, I've been feeling so conflicted about how I should rate this book - but beyond that, my thoughts and feelings on the story itself. This was a very worthwhile read for me, especially because I could relate to the characters' experiences in some ways. I was really invested in the characters, but some parts of the story felt underdeveloped or rushed, and by the end that took me out of the story somewhat. The tone shift from the first to the second part was so quick and so extreme that it's hard to think of them a one cohesive narrative, even though I was right there with the ups and downs pretty much the whole time. Part of the book was quite difficult to read (

Spoiler

warning: dark themes. Ex. caring for a sick person, caregiver burnout, depression, referenced suicidal ideation

) and while I enjoyed the story as a whole, I still would have liked to get a closer look at the characters and I wish things had ended differently - still happily, but in a different way.

Tredje delen i serien av Helen Hoang. 

Anna blev känd över en natt när ett youtube klipp av henne som spelar violin blev viralt. Men efter det så har hon kämpat med att hitta glädjen i musiken igen och nu vill hennes pojkvän öppna upp deras förhållande. Anna är förkrossad och vill få hämd men vad kan hon göra? Jo, hon kan också ligga med andra. 

Quan (bikaraktär i tidigare böcker i serien) har varit sjuk och ska nu ut i dejting livet igen och då träffar han Anna. Men när Annas familj drabbas av en tragedi ställs allt på ända och de måste kämpa för sin kärlek men också för sig själva. 

En berättelse i stil med tidigare böcker i serien. Jag rekommenderar att läsa de två andra böckerna först och sedan denna.

Moderate: Death of parent

The death itself is not explicit, but the process of dying over many months, and caregiving for a dying parent is a huge theme

The heartwarming romance between both Anna and Quan gave me joy. They both are so respectful and patient with each other (Quan in particular), that their love story doesn't feel forced at all but rather something that was always meant to be. I also loved how the author writes the pain caregivers go through, and the burden and guilt they hold. I do love that Anna, despite going through some tough hurdles, manages to push through even when she's scared. Truly, a story that everybody who's up for some heavy hitting romance should read.
