I will not accept any criticism of How to End a Love Story! From the start to finish, I loved each and every second of this. Yulin Kuang is without a doubt an auto-buy author. The freaking idea itself was so unique because who falls from the person who the person that drove the car that killed their sister?!?! They're like two sides of the same coin, forever tied together after the horrible event. I cried so hard at so many parts. 

I wanted to wrap Helen and Grant in my arms and make sure they never experienced any pain again. I loved the character work and how they each wanted to be like the other while in the writer's room (soulmatism if you ask me). The romance was so damn good that I can't imagine anything topping it for me.
THIS MAN WROTE HIS FREAKING ADDRESS ON HER THIGH
It's been a week and I can't stop thinking about them. The big and small moments, the kisses and the smut, the joy and pain, literally everything about this was phenomenal!!! 

Read this if you like angsty, slow burn romance, writing like Emily Henry with Ali Hazelwood smut, sad girl reads, hurting yourself for fun, books about writers, the inescapable fear that you've already done the best thing you will in life, or are the traumatized oldest daughter of a family that never talks about their feelings! 😄
