It was kind of predictable most of the time and
I HATE the baby trope so I didn't like the end of this book
overall not bad but not the best. I think it is overrated.

I don’t know how to feel right now. Just omg this book! Then ending! I can’t just why did that have to happen. I’m not okay after that. This book was so good, and the characters are all very relatable and awesome. The writing is amazing and that ending was insane!

Okay also ich weiß nicht ganz was ich von dem Buch halten soll...Das Buch beginnt erstmal mit einer Szene, die schon viel vom Plot verrät, das hat den Anfang allerdings interessant gemacht und ich wollte dann auch unbedingt weiterlesen. Die Storyline verfolgt Autumn während ihrer Highschool Zeit, und man konnte ihr beim Aufwachsen zusehen, was die Autorin meiner Meinung auch gut dargestellt hat (auch wenn es leider fast kein character development gab). 
Autumns Freundesgruppe hat mich aber so genervt, weil sich jeder von denen als was besseres und besonderes gehalten hat, weil sie ja solche Außenseiter waren... Die Beziehung zwischen Finny und Autumn fand ich realistisch und wirklich süß bis zum Ende hin. 
Ja, das Ende...das war leider wirklich bisschen rushed nachdem in 90% des Buches nichts spannendes passiert ist (das war an sich okay weil man so Autumns und Finns Beziehung besser verstehen konnte). Es war auch wirklich traurig, aber weil ich seit Anfang des Buchs den Plot schon kannte leider auch nicht überraschend. Was man dem Buch aber lassen muss, ist dass der Schreibstil wirklich interessant ist und ich mich darin "verlieren" konnte.
