I’m definitely way outside the target demographic here but if I read this when I was a kid it would’ve had an impact

Very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this! It had a lot of YA cringe flirting and questionable teenage decisions but what do you expect from a YA romance ya know? I enjoyed the plot twist because I considered it but didn’t think the book would be ballsy enough to do it but then they did! Loved that. So yeah a very fun, very heterosexual YA time.

It was pretty good, I enjoyed the story, and the plot twist was done well. I didn't expect it, but there was also reasonable foreshadowing to it. 

I am curious about what happened to the father and brother, though I don't quite remember if it was said what happened to them entirely.

I think they died of illness but I may be wrong

I don't know where to start with this.
The first 300 pages of this book I loved, it was looking like a 4☆ read, it was a nice lighthearted read, it got me out of a reading slump, and I could tell the author was talented.
After page 300 tho-
I got angry
Like ridiculously raging angry
Whyyy did the author ruin it?!?!
It's so annoying anger isnt something I want to feel about a book but I'm so angry I can't believe it.
I am not a fan at all of the Spoilersick but then not actually sick just been lied to forever storyline of a book, and I can't for the life of me understand why so many authors think it's a good thing.
This hit so hard for me because it's something that •could• happen to me so I just felt my life in her place and I thought what it would be like if Spoilermy mam suddenly told me I didnt have the conditions I've been told i have
All this just for Spoilerher mams grief?? I know her mam had issues and she needs to see therapists and get better, but I just can't see why that was turned around and made into a book idea
Although this was such a good book at the start, I am so disappointed in the ending and I feel like this book was a waste of my time.
Wouldnt recommend unless you are a fan of the Spoilerone day being told you've been lied to your whole life and missed out on so many opportunities and basically had your life ruinedtrope.
Someone tell me I'm not the only one thinking this x
