Eva and Shane. What to say? They have a beautiful, complicated, heartbreaking love story. Audre was adorable and wise for her age. I loved Audre's and Shane's relationship. 
My issues were the number of pop culture references. I also felt that Eva and Shane's relationship should have been shown a bit more after the epilogue. Both of them have traumas and issues of their own that I don't feel like were fully resolved. But I guess the author implies that they will be doing it together?

I can't stop thinking about this book. I cannot definitely say that Shane and Eva loved each other. They spent a week together while teenagers and during that time they were drinking/using drugs. Can you truly say you loved that person, if you never spent enough time with them outside the influence? ...brb

Really solid read, I enjoyed the character interactions, and I like the depth the author added to her characters, it really helped elevate the narrative. I enjoyed the romance, and I loved getting to learn more about the Black American experience, and Creole history throughout the book! Really glad I read this:) I think this book had important representation as well, such as chronic pain and addiction. I hope this book reaches a wider audience, it definitely deserves it!

After years of hearing about this book, I imagined it to be a slow, sad, brooding romance. It is definitely some of those things (check the content warnings!), but the tone is also light and readable, which came as a surprise. I honestly felt like it maybe could have gone deeper and taken a bit more time? Like the content was definitely heavy, but the way it was addressed wasn't super lived-in. I really really liked the ending and the overall themes of self-discovery and not having to be perfect to be loved.

They spend a week together as teens and then become authors and write to/about each other ever since. The premise is darling. The book didn’t quite deliver on being darling. It was still a really good book. Challenging, sometimes dark, very realistic characters. Read it! But not if you’re looking for something charming.
