This was a solid read. It did a little too much hinting-to-the-end for me. Like I did read the beginning, friend. I know that we're headed somewhere traumatic, so I don't need a trillion reminders. But I did like that it captured the absolute messiness of high school and emotions and families. Felt a bit like it trailed off after the climax - like the end wasn't as strong. May read this author again.

The foreshadowing was perfect. I knew it all along. The very first page told me. Still, I fell for it. My soft, stupid heart believed every word. And yet, here I am, writing this as tears stream down my face. This was beautiful in every way. The romance I’ve always wanted. Autumn was right. I knew it when she said it. Sad things can be beautiful. I hope everyone gives this book a chance. I won’t be forgetting it any time soon.
