I loved this book, until the end. I was expecting to be crying my heart out but it felt rushed and anticlimactic. 90% of the book is 4* the ending is 2* at best

I think the premise was great and I honestly don’t hate the tragic, bittersweet ending. But, I don’t think there was enough detail about Finny’s death, Autumn’s suicide attempt, or her pregnancy reveal.

Oh my god. You read this book in Autumn (the main character) point of view before the bad thing happens I don’t love how long it took for the main characters to find each other again but how the author rights it is nice. I HATE the ending in the ending I got teary eyed and mad at how it all happened. There is a sex scene but it is not graphic. It just says they took each others clothes off. And when they were done they were done he went and took a shower and she said that there was blood on the sheets. But it doesn’t go in graphic detail about anything. There is a book after this in Finny (the male point of view) called “if only I had told her.” I didn’t love this book to the point where I’m gonna be reading that one. But for anyone who does want to that’s the title. .
Im giving this book 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hope this review helped.🖤

So everyone says this book makes them cry, but it didn't make me cry. It didn't break my heart, but it felt like it had carved my heart right out of my chest. I felt so empty after finishing it. I hurt so much, and left me feeling very numb. The entire book has a very melancholy tone, and you know what's going to happen from the first chapter. Even though I knew what was going to happen, I spent the entire book convincing myself that it wouldn't and trying to pretend like everything would be okay in the end. It hurt so badly, and I love Autumn and Finn so much. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked Autumn because she felt like a very classic "weird" girl character that the popular boy falls in love with (even though that isn't really the setup of the story at all), but I fell in love with her pretty quickly. Finn I fell in love with instantly. I loved him so much. This book was a messy story with messy characters, but even though they were so messy, they were so good. In the end, they were such good people, and they were always meant for each other, but things got so complicated so quickly and so easily. I don't really know what more to say except that I really adore these characters and this story, and it left me feeling so empty and sad that I cannot properly express it.
