Someone should count every mention of "say" in this book, I bet it's a huge amount.
I had to check the publishing date because that book feels really early 2010s to me. It was published 2013 so I guess it's fine, but the 2010s vibes are there. Strongly. It kind of feels like something you would find on wattpad
I do like that it's an easy read, or listen if you're on audiobook, and the chapters are really short which I LOVE.
I didn't really feel the tragic ending tho. It told me that it was sad but I didn't feel it.
