I don’t know what to think about this book: there were so many parts were I was cringing how Autumn handled thing like a child (technically she’s was most part the book). And I hated Jamie so much and her relationship with him. Finny is just a better guy for Autumn! But the reason why they fell apart in middle school and the miscommunication about it was so childish and unnecessary.

But then the end made my heart squeeze a bit.

I would have definitely liked it more if I read this when I was still in high school.

So it’s a good 3 stars for me. And I’m definitely curious about the sequel.
