This book wrecked me. I don’t know the last time I have sobbed while reading a book but the clicker can start over. Ultimately I liked the book. I was worried at one point it was going to get religious on me but it didn’t go that far. If you need me I’ll be sitting here trying to depuff my eyes

This was beyond beautiful. If you don’t want to cry then I definitely don’t recommend reading it though. I started crying at about 37% (I think) and it never really stopped. The crying got really bad around 72% though. I had to take a break to calm down. Poppy and Rune are so cute. I wish they had more time together

I loved mostly everything about this book, and cried so much which I rarely do while reading books. I think this might have been the most heartbreaking book I have ever read, and would love to read it again for the first time. I did feel like the last chapter didn't really belong in the book it just felt very out of place (when he joined her in heaven). At some times Rune annoyed me with how he acted. Toward the end I felt they they both kept calling eachother baby a lot, to the point it got kind of annoying. Other then those few things I thought it was wonderful and absolutely loved it!
