I didn't like certain parts of the book, but overall it's a good read.

There were tons of moments where I left the book because of some non emotional related hard moments to read, and it made it difficult to read the book. I definitely loved the cover art of it. It felt like being ill was kinda just thrown in to make this book have some sort of direction, didn't feel very strong to me.

Really nice book. Not super accurate of what CF is like, but it gives a good introduction to CF for those who have no previous knowledge about it. Sweet, emotional, and on the cry scale of how good it was, I cried once. There is a character death, though it is not graphic but is directly related to CF, so beware. There is a token gay friend, so head’s up if that’s a point of interest.

the token gay friend does die from CF

I love this book and will continue to re read it forever. It's such a beautiful story and the love these characters share. I laughed and cried at this book. It was a so beautiful especially the ending where they saw each other at the airport and will was still sick. I would definitely recommend. Especially if you like doomed romances
