I loved this book, until the end. I was expecting to be crying my heart out but it felt rushed and anticlimactic. 90% of the book is 4* the ending is 2* at best

I loved this book so much 🥹 The author did such a great job of creating characters who felt like real-life high school students. Their emotions, struggles, daily activities, and responses to conflict were both realistic and modern. Autumn was such a relatable character to me personally, and I just wanted to hug her 🥺

Communication is a key component of learning how to be a human in our society. The author does an incredible job showcasing the depth of emotion, maturity, and growth it takes for teens to communicate with their friends, family, and significant others. 

I loved everything about this book and am thankful to Booktok for the recommendation ❤️

P.s. If you're an empath like me, be prepared to cry 🙃

I think the premise was great and I honestly don’t hate the tragic, bittersweet ending. But, I don’t think there was enough detail about Finny’s death, Autumn’s suicide attempt, or her pregnancy reveal.

The characters feel like high schoolers, which is what you're probably gonna want from a book about high schoolers but still.
