3.0
Quick and enjoyable read, although I think I may have finally aged out of the "...but we didn't know we liked each other" miscommunication trope. Also, the plot is predominately moved along solely by foreshadowing for most of the book, so you will probably see the twists and turns coming from miles away.
Moderate: Child death, Death, Sexual content, Suicidal thoughts, Toxic relationship, and Suicide attempt
