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 absolutely loved this book and as promised it made me cry multiple times. I loved watching their relationship and the rawness of the storyline. 

The only minor complaint that I have is that characters names are overused and sometimes it makes the story feel a little disjointed. 

Overall though, it's a brilliant book about a difficult topic that I highly recommend anyone read.

This is almost as bad as A Little Life. I was abused, I have not cried this hard in months. 
The book is very evidently YA, especially from the way it is written, and from the unrealistic portrayal of the relationship, but I loved it nonetheless. The pain this book caused me will require therapy.

The writing style definitely falls within the YA genre and lacks depth in this regard. However, the plot itself is beautiful, the characters lovable and if you need a good cry (without wading through major trauma) this is the book to pick up.

I did not enjoy this book as much as I’d hoped I would. Don’t get me wrong, I shed a few tears at the end of the book but that was all. The writing for me was way too cringeworthy, not realistic, tried to hard to make you love the characters. Boring book, had to force myself to finish it every time I put it down. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend or read again.
