i would be lying if i said i dislike the concept of this story because i really loved it so much. i am a firm believer that, no matter the ending, love is never wasted.
honestly, i struggled through the book. and, despite being a super emotional person, i couldn't get myself to experience the big emotions i often feel while reading. this may have happened because of me being in a reading slump for about two months now, because i may be in the process of outgrowing ya or both of these reasons.
of course, nicola yoon's writing was beautiful, evie's personal growth was good and the whole plot made sense
Spoiler
i despise cheating but she needed to forgive her dad in order to move on. and x's death was the trigger she needed to realize that loving, even if it is just for a short time, is always better than wasting your time.overall it was not a bad book, but i just feel like i didn't pick it up at the right time.

This delightful take on cynicism surrounding love and learning to enjoy the journey rather than fear the outcome put me through so many emotions- joy, worry, sadness, excitement, frustration, and on and on. It would make a perfect teen rom-com.

After Evie’s parents’ marriage crumbles she finds that she no longer believes in love- or that love is worth it because of the hurt you experience if/when it ends.
I found the main character to be rather difficult to deal with. It was like she wanted herself to be miserable (not saying that you can’t be happy without a significant other- she just took it to a whole different level).
I did like the relationship between Evie and X. Probably the most fun part of their relationship was their bantering!
Overall I thought this was good, but not overly memorable.
