The structure of the book is delightfully unique! Little snippets of the main character’s notebook provide a sense of personal connection with her. To understand the story completely, read The Little Prince and Flowers for Algernon first. Then you’ll understand the context which they are mentioned.

A huge fan of architecture not knowing what a Murphy Bed is? Hrm.

This is basically a John Green book with a bit more diversity. Definitely meant for the teenaged crowd.

A quick read.  The foreshadowing in the beginning of the book was blatantly ovibous but I didn't see the plot twist coming.  I also didn't expect a sex scene and wished it wasn't in there.  It was fun nonetheless, much different than my usual reads.  I will add that if depictions of abusive families bother you probably don't read this book, it's not graphic but it's there.

I like this book! It was easily read so I just flew through it! It was an intresting story, and I was hooked from the first page! 

The book did feel kinda rushed through but it’s a beautiful story and I loved Olly and Maddys relationship even tho it was instant and fast paced! 
 
I doesn’t love the characters because I don’t feel very connected to them, I feel like it should have been more detailed character description's! But other than that I liked it!

And also, the twist at the end?! Was definitely not expecting that!
