It probably would have been five stars if it was a happy ending since I prefer those but life doesn't always give happy endings. 

It was a beautiful story filled with complex emotions.

the ending felt rushed, i enjoyed the build up on the story! i thought i’d cry and really i saw the ending coming, i just wasn’t expecting to happen the way it did.

this book gives a whole new meaning to “last good day”

the characters were relatively likable, except Jamie! i wish everyone’s parents were more present??? anyway, it’s just a book, it just felt like it wasn’t realistic at times
