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!

This book was genuinely a masterpiece. I would say it was more of a slower book but the emotion and storyline was amazing.

The way that finny (phineas) was portrayed and made into such a loving caring character was the most heartwarming effect of the story.

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.
