The book starts with the end. So you know how it ends. The build up is what makes it good. You always want to know how it gets there. The reasons mentioned right at the beginning play an important role throughout the hole book.
Definitely a challenge to keep reading as you just won't want the ending to come.
I would definitely describe it as a Romeo and Juliet of modern days.

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.

 DEPRESSING.

“Can’t sad things be beautiful?”

Yes… but it still hurts. Booktok made me read this. 4 stars because it was well written but honestly I wish I had skipped this one. I should have known better. From chapter 1 I knew this book was going to hurt and it did. The whole thing was painful, in a beautifully written way. I want to scream into the void and eat a pint of ice cream now.
