I liked:
-jumping back and forth in time
-the general idea of having that big vacation with your best friend.Â
-the writing style. Even though I had mixed feelings I wanted to listen to it all.Â
I did not like:
-Poppy. She drove me bananas. Just needed a smack.Â
-the vacations when they got to the point where they clearly shouldnât have been happening but they were.Â
-the build up to the incident. All this build up and then it didnât feel that intense.Â
-the fact that theyâre friendship hurt others. Iâve experienced that. Itâs not fun. And I struggled hearing that.Â
Like I said, my own personal feelings for sure. But I still enjoyed a few things and I can see why people would find this book likeable. I mean, the flow of the book itself was awesome.
But⌠I think Alex deserved better.Â
