Absolutely heartbreaking. Nearly had me crying on the bus. Beautifully written. The author wasn't lying in a quote that said, "My books will make you cry."

kept me enthralled enough to read in one sitting, made me cry, and had some really solid lines that i’ll be thinking about for a while. i think some of the negative reviews are too harsh, especially the ones that say certain things didn’t make sense when they were explained clear as day in the text.

This book sucked, you can't tell me otherwise. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD.

Anyway, I loved Tomas and Matt; they were my favorite characters, but of course, all good characters must die. ALSO, as a dancer, I hated autumn, more so her writing. I just hated the representation for the dancers okay? Like, no, if I got shot in the knee I wouldn't feel like 'i'm trapped in a pirouette (spin/turn)'. SO YEAH DONT READ THIS BOOK IF 1 YOU GET ATTACHED TO CHARACTERS 2 YOU ARE A DANCER.
But seriously don't joke about school shootings. thank youuuuuuu
