2.0

Honest opinion? I am not a fan of the writing. It’s unorganized and doesn’t flow well. The plot is boring and nonexistent for 3/4 of the book. Around page 300 is when it peaked my interest. Not horrible, but wouldn’t recommend. “She was the instrument of his death, but not the cause.”

It took me a while to get into this book but once I got into it hours went by as I read this.

It felt like I was autumn and as if I was in her position. It felt so real to me.

Loved the way it was written!

finny and autumn deserved better:( finny shouldn’t have just died like that but it was so good.

A pretty standard YA tragic love story, but it was entertaining enough! Captured the progression of high school and growing up well. I liked the characters. Nothing incredibly compelling but also not bad! I could see my younger self bawling at this one lol.
