It was pretty angsty and emotional, with an undercurrent of ‘will they, won’t they’ and if so when. I love the ‘it’s always been you’ trope. I think it’s so cute and endearing. And I just love that whole idea that there’s someone out there just perfectly meant for you. This book did that really well.
It spans over a large time period, flicking between then and now. Which I think added to the build up of tension running throughout.
Things I didn’t like though:
-the plot twist for me was predictable. I kind of didn’t love exactly how it was done either, and added a pretty sad note to the last 100 or so pages of the book.
-I got a bit annoyed with the severe lack of communication between the characters as adults. No one, not even the side characters even sent emails. You’re adults, reach out at least, please. Save the stress and torment.
Other than that, I think it was a quick and easy sweet teenage love story. Perfect for summer!
