I absolutely loved this book. I went in blind thinking it was a dark romance in some ways it is but not for the spice. This is about suicide, grief, love and so much more. It really taps into your emotions and captivates you with its incredible story about grief and overcoming the loss of a loved one. Not to mention guilt one might have when you lose someone from suicide. Absolute 5 star read and I immediately bought the physical book off of Amazon before even finishing the book. I loved the writing style and message the book provides to its readers. 5 star read and one I now have the physical copy to re read whenever my heart desires.

I really really loved this book. It was a beautiful story about depression, suicide, grief, guilt, and finding your worth. I loved each and every character, I loved the entire plot, I laughed, cried, sulked, and got frustrated. I love books that pull so much emotion out of you. The only thing that kept it from being 5 stars is I felt it was about 200 pages too long. This would have been just as impactful and beautiful and emotional had it been 500 pages long as opposed to 700+. There were definitely times that lost me and I felt like moving on to another book because it was the same scenario playing out again, but overall I loved this book. Definitely purchasing a physical copy when I can.

I absolutely loved this book! The characters have such depth. Even broaching such a tough storyline. It never felt forced. It all flowed. I loved the ending because you could really see that the characters loved Kellan. Charlie was good for everyone.
