Some parts of this book made me cringe a little but I liked reading it throughout my busy week. I didn't like the fact that Ethan and Louna had met only once. It made their love seem super juvenile but the school shooting twist was very sad. I will say, Ambrose's confession at the end had me kicking my feet and smiling.
Then also the jumpscare Sarah gave all of us at the end made me want to scream till I found out he wasn't dead.
Overall, I liked this book. Was it my favorite Sarah Dessen book ever? No. But, still enjoyed it, considering I'm such a sucker for her writing and ability to make characters so interesting. 4/5
