Watching the pieces of the “mystery” fall in place was extremely satisfying! Apart from that, the tone of the book reads as average 2014 YA, which turned me off a little but the interesting overarching plot and well-developed characters made up for it.

nice little plot twist, love the reconciliation & connection. very sweet & love how it deals w/ loss, anger, remorse & how to heal relationships. didn't enjoy the weird age gap between the twin sister & the brit guy.

I read this book to come out of a reading slump and oh boi, did it help. I think I knew what I was getting into when I started it - turns out I was wrong, luckily I guess. It seems like a love story at first and it is, but not how you‘d imagine it to be. While the romantic relationships play an important part for the plot and are very well done but actually it is about the love between twins who lose and find each other several times over the years. It’s got some great life lessons, inspirations and is generally a very well rounded , enjoyable story.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHGH I CANNOT PUT MY LOVE FOR THIS BOOK INTO WORDS. I’m literally using every little neuron in my brain right now to type out these stupid sentences. These characters are so alive, I feel like I know and love them like a bestfriend. It’s like we’ve laughed and cried together and sending them off when I finished this book just crushed me. I wish I could read this forever, embed myself in the pages. I wish I could create art like this -writing or painting- but that means I haven’t learned shit from reading this. It doesn’t matter if I’m good, it doesn’t matter if I’m shit. I’m probably both at once. In the beginning I was so attached to Noah, I felt that he and I were too similar, then comes along Jude and it’s that same feeling a second time. Never have I felt like this twice in one book. It’s a quarter to one and I’m having a full blown crisis. Usually I assign a song to every book I finish but I don’t know anything that’ll sum up this experience (I STAND CORRECTED LOL)

Song: 

• Lost It to Trying - Son Lux 
• this is me trying - Taylor Swift

When I first started this book, I had no motivation to read it and was kind of iffy about it (that might be cause I read it for my school read for the unit), but then toward the end once everything started connecting I was so interested and was getting like whiplash from it all. It was truly such a beautiful book and honestly still haven’t processed it all. I recommend it a lot, especially if you’ve dealt with Greif or loss of any kind, it truly gave me a wake up call a bit and made me feel more grateful for my brother.
