The first 2/3 of this book were mediocre. The pace was slow. But, it was not too boring. Then the final 1/3 of the book changed everything. There were surprises and sadness and plot twists. I recommend this book, but if you get bored at first…please please finish it cause the ending is insane!

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.

 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.
