I loved this book. It's an absolutely beautiful story that completely wrecked me. I went through all the emotions with this one. I went into this not realizing just how sad and emotional it is and I had to hold back my tears when out in public.
Bailey was my favorite out of this whole book. Everyone in the book loved him and I understand why. He's the funniest sweetest most loving character. Most of my favorite quotes from this book came from him. It absolutely broke my heart what happened to him in this book. I knew he was gonna live a short life due to his muscular disease, I just didn't know that he was gonna go the way he did. He definitely deserved to have gone in a different way. But I can see why he went the way he did. It makes sense with the type of person he is.
I also really loved the theme of this book about beauty not being everything. Most of these characters are flawed in some way shape or form. Maybe not at the beginning but eventually you start to see the flaws of these characters.
I can't recommend this book enough. It may end up being in my top favorites of the year. Especially considering this is my first 5 star read of 2024. I would recommend this to everyone.
