I did not enjoy this book as much as I’d hoped I would. Don’t get me wrong, I shed a few tears at the end of the book but that was all. The writing for me was way too cringeworthy, not realistic, tried to hard to make you love the characters. Boring book, had to force myself to finish it every time I put it down. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend or read again.

This book officially ruined me… I haven’t cried because of a book in a long time but this was absolutely heartbreaking, Rune and Poppy’s relationship is everything you hope for, I will be thinking about this book for a long time

I picked this one up because of TikTok. This was one of those books that I knew absolutely nothing about before I started. All I knew was that I was going to cry. And cry and cry.

In reality, I teared up, I get why people would cry, but it just wasn't quite it for me. The writing style wasn't my favourite and it felt way too predictable for me (not that I wanted some big crazy twist or anything, it just feels like I've read this story a hundred times before).

Isn't the first time TikTok has built a book up too much for me so that reading it is actually a bit of a letdown, and I know it won't be the last time.
