I didn’t expect to like this so much!
The book captures young love and teenage thoughts very authentically. The pressure Autumn feels to have sex with her boyfriend and all her thoughts feel very teenage and relatable.
The ending let this down - once what happened in the car crash comes out, the aftermath is too brief. It would have been better to spend longer here.
