'And if I'm extra lucky, maybe one day, I'll meet someone who will let me teach them about birds'
It's a solid four star book, but I need to be honest - I burst into tears during reading the last sentence, and there's no other way than give it 5⭐ for emotions

Heart wrenching- had me in tears by the end. Beautiful characters, I fell in love with all of them and the representation was fantastic!

It took me so long to read this book and it was so confusing so at the end I have nothing to say because she would go from the past to the present way too quick and with such little notice.

I'm sobbing. This book hit me like a storm. I cried and I laughed, and I smiled, and I fell in love with the romance even though I knew it was going to end in one of them dead. I felt for Jess so much and I had so much love for her. And so much hope. This book went into my heart and it's not gonna leave for awhile.

I got nothing with this book. The conflict on grieving for a significant loss is not the problem of the story, but it is poorly, poorly executed even in the first 100 pages. I guess the language had to be aligned with the age of the character but I find it troublesome to connect and even keep up. I don't know. Did not finished this one.

Read this book because it deals with grief and I liked it (enough) but what I liked is definitely outweighed by what I didn't like. I didnt like Jess, even in the Before... Also there was a few stereotypes/tropes, one being Jess having Mexican ancestry ("dad was half and then giving her anger issues.
