this book had me EMOTIONAL. the first 40 pages, i was crying. the last 40 pages, i was SOBBING, like getting the pages wet from my tears.
if i'm being so for real though, aside from the heartbreaking tragedy, i found the love story itself to be…not that interesting? it was giving insta-love which isn’t one of my favorite tropes. maybe i didn’t relate to ella or beckett but they were just kinda boring and maybe a little cringey.
the familial relationships and found family moments were 5/5, but the love story was like 2/5, hence my rating.
if you want a book to make you cry, i recommend. if you want a compelling romance, i’d suggest something else.
