I can’t say I didn’t enjoy this book, but I just don’t think it was meant for me either. 
I do like the dynamic between Elliot and Macy, but it all felt a little predictable (doesn’t make it any less sweet). 
I also listened to it as an audiobook and it was a little difficult to keep up with all the time skips back anf forth in this way, it’s probably much easier to keep up as you physically read it.

I read this book in two days because I couldn’t put it down.

I love that the chapters alternated between “then” and “now.” I loved watching Elliot and Macy’s relationship evolve. They were so cute (as friends and as more).

I definitely cried when Macy shared the full side of her story. That is just so heartbreaking! I can’t say I could’ve made it through that situation.

Some of my critiques: I find it a little unrealistic that they could jump back into things so soon. Especially after 11 YEARS! And especially after everything Macy went through! Then again, I didn’t meet and grow up with the true love of my life, so what do I know? Also, I don’t like the way THE incident was handled. Macy’s life was destroyed for two reasons on the same day, but so was Elliot’s (even though neither of them knew about the other’s situation). It would’ve been completely out of character for Elliot to intentionally do something stupid, but I hate that he was sexually assaulted. AND THAT HE APOLOGIZED SO MUCH FOR IT! And tried to downplay it as being just drunk and delusional.
