It’s a gorgeously written book, nevertheless it’s unique. I find the writing strangely similar to my own pattern of thinking, with references and meaningful but weird descriptions. The family dynamics  are unlike anything I’ve read and it absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful.

I unexpectedly really loved this so so much. The emotions just pour off of the page. The way the characters are intertwined and the story unfolds to fit it all together is really good. Definitely going into the favourites pile. 

Though I do wish there was more on what Noah was like at 16 and the resolution felt kinda rushed at the end. Was left wanting a little bit more.

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

Such an amazing book - and if you're on the fence about whether or not to pick it up, all I can say is this: READ. IT. I can promise you that there won't be any regrets.
