This one broke my heart a little bit. I love this author's writing and I am committed to reading through their back titles.

At first I was like "YA? 😒" but after staying up late to read the second half of this book, I'm now heartbroken

For me, the jumping through different time periods was confusing. However, when I reached the end I finally understood the need for it.
It’s a heavy hitter of a novel. Bringing you up close and personal with what the characters have gone through.

Loved it. When I went to work I kept thinking “where is Monday?” It was so emotional and tense and I could not have guessed the twist. It was a great read, I can’t wait to one day forget the mystery and read it again. I pray for the day.

I closed my eyes, envisioning it, trying to think of anyone I would beg for one more moment with, but only Monday came to mind. I loved her. Well, I mean, not like that. I didn’t love her in a way a girl loved a girl, like romantically. I loved her more like a soul mate loved a soul mate. Who makes up the rules for who your soul belongs to? 

If Monday were a color, she’d be red. Crisp, striking, vivid, you couldn’t miss her—a bull’s-eye in the room, a crackling flame.
I saw so much red that it blinded me to any flags.
