Let me just start off by saying that all forms of art are not meant for everyone and people can have different opinions.
That being said, this book was painful to read. The dialogue felt very cliche John green 2014. *SPOILER*
The descriptions of death were very “angels coming home” and tried way too hard to be inspiring. Also the MMC describing most of the women in town as “bimbos” and putting the FMC up on a pedestal was ~not enjoyable~.
It did have good family elements and was sweet at times, but it overall was not good.
