This was an amazing read tbh. I had a few minor problems with it though. First and foremost, they spoiled the different endings of Darcy's book before you read it. Second, because of the fact that you are reading the final draft while also hearing edits to the first draft, it's very easy to get confused. Third, it seemed like the relationship between Yama and Lizzie went from 0-100 just like that. I also would have liked more clarification on who Jamie is. However, I loved the both stories and I loved how they played in to each other. It gave me a better understanding of YA Heaven is like, and also the struggles of being an 18 year old trying to balance work and love for the first time. I loved the relationship between Darcy and Imogen. It seemed very real and intense. The book was also original. I have never heard about a book within a book before, not until reading this. Both stories were captivating and suitably brutal. Overall, an amazing read for fans of reality and fantasy in one.
FROM NOW ON JAMIE, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING
