okay i honestly thought this book was great but there was one thing i didn’t like. Autumn and her tiara. I swear i can go on and on about that thing. Every time i tried to forget it existed she wore it again. I mean, i get wearing it for dress up and on occasion, but every day, especially in high school, is a little excessive. And It was kind of like reading journal entries from a 15 year old naive high schooler, in a way. But, aside from the tiara and that, it was an okay book. The plot most thickened at the end, but thats fine, because i was waiting for Autumn and Finny to get together, and when they did
, well, he died.
And when i read that
he died
, i was in class and trying not to sob. This book wrecked me. It ripped my heart out and stomped on it. Nice three stars
