I love Gayle Forman’s way of bringing their characters to life. The only thing that really marks it down is that some aspects of the book just seem too unrealistic. It’s cheesy at times.

It didnt make me cry but it was definitely written well as a young adult book. It could have gotten deeper and everything. It was easy to get through. Wouldnt read it again probs but im not mad that i did. I like reading some easy books that arent a big weight on your emotions and stuff every so often. Im hoping the sequel is better!

I really like this book! It reminded me of “How to make friend with the dark” and I loved that book! The ending had me wishing for more and I’m really excited to read the second book. I almost cried while reading the ending. This book was really beautiful written. I only didn’t rate it a five stars because sometimes I felt she would tell some uninteresting stories from her past which I just wanted to skim over but then the stories would have a point for being told but sometimes I felt like skimming a couple paragraphs.
