I loved this book. I didn't expect to be so moved by it. I loved Hannah and Davey from the very first pages and I loved their characterisations so much.
However, I hated how much time was spent on George. He was a dick, plain and simple. It hurt that Hannah couldn't see his red flags, but I guess that's what it's like in a relationship.
I also hated how long it took for Hannah and Davey to get together. I loved the ending, the right place at the right time etc, but it seemed so rushed. I wish there was an epilogue or something so we could have seen more of Davey and Hannah
Despite these weaknesses, I loved the dual POV and the entire cancer storyline, although I did hate Davey at points for his selfishness. I could understand him though, and I liked how Hannah went through all this development as a character.
