Just couldn't get into it and actually fell asleep reading it.

I liked this one. I loved how well Julie and Sam worked together. The book is just about 300 pages, so not very long, yet the author managed to create a believable relationship, which was essential since it is the focus of the story.
While I think the book explored grief and guilt in an interesting way, sadly it never had quite the impact I was hoping for. But grief varies so greatly from one person to another, there’s no wrong way to portray it; it’s simply that I didn’t quite connect with it.
I enjoyed the writing though, and while I don’t read much YA these days, I’ll be curious to see what Dustin Thao comes up with next.

I felt like the setup of this story could have been better from the beginning and I was just also not feeling connected to FMC at all.

Nie podobało mi się w jaki sposób została przedstawiona żałoba. Nie wierzę w to, że nikt nie był w stanie zrozumieć czemu główna bohaterka zachowuje się sposób w jaki się zachowuje
