Okay honestly I was going to give this book 3 stars. Until I was absolutely sobbing, tears soaking my bed and my pillow. And now it’s a 4. And honestly, for the state it put me in it might be a 5, but I can’t help but feel like that shouldn’t override enduring the first 3/4 of the book. It wasn’t that it was bad, everything just moved so fast, I was practically begging them to slow down. One extreme to the absolute next. And I was so annoying and really didn’t understand the point of him lying to her about the letters. Like what was that even for? The dramatics later on I suppose but it threw me off for sure. So whilst the last part I absolutely cried my eyes out and loved their relationship, it was definitely fast moving and a little bit out of sorts in my opinion. And sorry not sorry but I hated the letters (they were giving the Dear Ellen’s in It Ends With Us and I skim read them) but still can’t fault the emotion it brought out of me.
