It hurts to rate it beneath a 4 star, but I feel like the story didn't live up to the hype I've seen online. It's a good book, very entertaining, but it was frustrating. The characters were frustrating, their constant miscommunication and misrepresentation of each other was... frustrating.

I didn't really believe the friendship between Sam and Sadie, at least not beyond their college years.

Honestly, by the end of the book, I liked Sam more than Sadie. She held so much resentment towards Sam, and just didn't even try to talk to him about it? If she was so upset, why not just leave? Why drag everything on? I just don't get it.

This book was sold to me as a platonic-love story and a complicated friendship. But I could barely see the friendship, and
Spoilercan it really be called platonic if Sam was in love with Sadie?


SpoilerFuck Dov. Why did Sadie keep in contact with that awful man? Why was his abuse used as a lighthearted joke between them? Why didn't he die?
