3.5
A slow burn romance that most readers will be able to relate to; loving someone but missing your opportunity to be with them.
The book centres on Autumn and Finn through their schooling years, which gives a YA genre feel, but without the writing style to match.
The book will have you laughing, longing and crying. It’s worth the read if you enjoy a romance.
*Spoiler*
I do feel the ending was rushed and had we of had more time getting to know Autumn and Finn within a romantic relationship together the ending would have had a greater emotional pull.
