I think it was long for a good reason. I hated the ending in a good and bad way. It just left me empty. But reminding me the time we have in earth is too short to not keep our loved ones close and let them know we love them.

Such a sad book but a beautiful love story. Definitely read this if you want a good cry. But be warned, you will be so depressed every time you think about this story.

 I really enjoyed this book.

It was an easy and nice read, wasn't overfilled with unnecessary filler and the pacing was good. Giving a good and clear picture of what is happening in our main character's life, and her inner most feelings. It felt very true and real to how a teenager would feel.

I had seen many tik toks about this book so I had high expectations. I kinda already had an idea of how it ended going into it. However I felt the last 50 ish pages of the book felt extremely rushed, whereas the rest of the book dragged on. It took me soooooo long to get through the first half of the book because of how slow it was. If the book’s pace was a lot faster, I probably would’ve given it 5 stars. Overall worth the read tho.

For people who love tragedies (me.) At least 7 chapters of my least favorite boyfriend could have been cut (skipped).

I hate suprise pregnancy tropes

chapter 81 made it all worth it
