The chapters were extremely confusing and i had a hard time convincing myself to finish the book but when i reached the end it all made sense. The story was great though the plot was a bit predictable.

You think it's bad and then it's just worse.

I think I really had to just brush over the cooler thing or I would've drowned in it. Good lord how sad, it's horrible.

Reread this book because I thought it would be a quick and fun throwback. I think part of the reason why I'm rating it lower than last time is because the twist does not hit as hard the second time lol. Still pretty good and an easy read. 

Review from August 2022:
5/5
I LOVED this book. For a 400+ page book it kept me hooked and the plot twist made me want to re-read the whole story again. This was insanely sad and I love how the characters are written. Overall, a must-read!!!
