The narrative of the book was good, I enjoyed it and got through it pretty quickly. 
Some elements were a little choppy and the character narration was a little infuriating at times. A little dated in its 2000s references and language, but I enjoyed it! Definitely a good read to get out a slump.

I am not a fan of romance, however the need to know what happened to these two after the accident kept me going until the end. If you enjoy young adult romance I would recommend this novel.

This is my second time reading this book. During my first read through I believe I was in my late teens and I enjoyed the books dynamics and how the story was written. Now in my mid-twenties the book was extremely rushed and the characters, while enjoyable, seem very unrealistic and what has happened in the book is not quite as believable. I think it is a good YA book for teenagers, however as an adult has fallen flat.
