Cry count: 19.
This book reminds me of a fanfiction that I would’ve read in middle school, but in the best way possible. The simple language and the romance is what reminds me of it, but this is such a sweet story. The bad-boy comments made me cringe, but the sweetness of the rest of the book outweighs it.
This is a YA book, but I—a 24 year old woman—enjoyed this thoroughly and cried a good amount.
And the epilogue… oh man. Didn’t quite expect that, though it isn’t unpredictable. Good stuff.
