Madeline has just turned 18 and thought she was okay being stuck in her house due to her disease. That is until she begins a relationship with the new neighbors' son. The relationship grows quickly and Madeline tries to recognize that things are moving fast. She's not sure if it's because he is a new person in her life or if this is love. But she begins to lie to her mother on big things and secrets begin to be exposed. There is some great foreshadowing throughout the story for the twist at the end and Yoon had me second guess myself a couple times with her hints. A good addition for YA romance sections.

simple writing but an interesting concept. i saw the movie a few years ago so already knew the plot twist, without knowing it beforehand it would have been very good. story felt rushed in parts.

I didn't know the last 80 pages would turn this into a thriller. This was adorable yet heartbreaking. I didn't see that plot twist coming at all and that just made the book even more interesting than just your typical ya romance. It explored other topics besides romance such as identity, mother-daughter relationships and forgiveness. The ending was adorable and the perfect way to finish this. The author's acknowledgements for her husband were so sweet to read as well.

(I honestly thought it would've been more shocking if her mom had killed her husband and son like that would've had me spiraling)
