A MILLION FUCKING STARS WOULDN’T BE ENOUGH FOR THIS BOOK!!!! I am officially broken. For good. Beyond repair. I may even die just from thinking about this book. This story is not an happy ever after (at least not this book). I went through a roller coaster of emotions. Sad, happy, laughing, crying, cringing.. I had it all. Overall, one of the best book I’ve ever read. The story was beautifully written, and didn’t feel like a ya book at all. Even Shannon, who was only 15-16, was so mature.

I’d been looking forward to reading this for a long time. Unfortunately, a lot of it felt unnecessarily long. I don’t see the appeal with Johny. I prefer Joey and Gibsie.

the author writes this book (and the sequel) amazingly. she managed to capture attention for 600 pages!! I would not have known this wasn't an e book cause I was zooming through it. if you like wattpad, you'll like this 👍🏼

Emotional rollercoaster, but definitely worth the pain (going into the second book). Shannon deserved so much better and I’m glad she met Johnny.
