Okay so that one part where Lottie can feel the panic attack just creeping over her shoulder and she just excuses herself, drives to her friends house and then is like okay but I could also be having a heart attack its not that bad? That part? I loved it. I very clearly remembering being in Lottie's shoes, overthinking to the point of just not sleeping, just randomly excusing oneself from overwhelming situations, that was so nice to read. What made it even better was the boy wasnt the magical cure all, he didn't 'help her realize she was just being half of a person and her whole self actually loved doing things that scared her'. No she still did things, but she would also be like, okay woah, we didn't die, but we could, give me a moment.
Also I DID NOT see the immortal boy coming and I can say it was a lively suprise, tore my heart to shreds thinking about him being alone but it was a good plot twist.
The writing was just beautiful to read, I underlined so many parts to copy into my journal later because they make very heavy topics (ie death) seem very easy to approach and at times comforting.
