Wow I’m still kind of reeling so my rating may change a little once I’ve processed it but it was okay. It was good but I didn’t think it was life changing. The ending felt a little sudden but that seemed intentional. I didn’t love the characters or really the plot but I still must say that it was pretty good. It was also a super quick read. Some pretty heavy topics are covered so make sure to read the content warnings!!

After reading this one, I really wish I’d read it before If Only He had Told Me. As far as young adult novels go, I think they’d really connect to this material. I can see a lot of young people feeling some modicum of relief that they aren’t the only ones to (fill in the blank).

I feel as though a 2.5 ⭐️ is too low but a 3 ⭐️ is too high, but what can you do. This book felt very monotone however it was very realatable to me.

let me be honest, i read through four years of autumns life and i couldn’t have been more unaffected. it felt like in those four years, nothing at all happened.

but i was ready to sort of accept all that, when i was hit in the face with BOOM
CHEATING TROPE
(sort of)
BOOM
ACCIDENTAL PREGNANY
(two people! that are in high school!! from their first time!!!)
and i lost it.
you lost me.


the reader knowing the end from the start was supposed to be mysterious and cool, probably, but it didn’t feel like it.
where was the tension?
where was whatever was supposed to make this book interesting?

also, autumns suicide attempt was very uncomfortable for me, and that‘s simply because the whole book had a way of being shallow, and throwing something that serious in there right at the end felt very odd and almost romanticized.


could not conform to this book very much.
