okay i honestly thought this book was great but there was one thing i didn’t like. Autumn and her tiara. I swear i can go on and on about that thing. Every time i tried to forget it existed she wore it again. I mean, i get wearing it for dress up and on occasion, but every day, especially in high school, is a little excessive. And It was kind of like reading journal entries from a 15 year old naive high schooler, in a way. But, aside from the tiara and that, it was an okay book. The plot most thickened at the end, but thats fine, because i was waiting for Autumn and Finny to get together, and when they did
, well, he died.
And when i read that
he died
, i was in class and trying not to sob. This book wrecked me. It ripped my heart out and stomped on it. Nice three stars

The writing style wasn't particularly my favorite but I still couldn't stop reading. Cried a little at the very end. It's a very emotional ride

I can understand the hype behind this one. I really enjoyed it as a standalone. Im not sure if I want to read the 2nd book because this one really felt like it wrapped up where it needed to.

The book was an easy read; the chapters were short & straight to the point. I felt hopeful for the main characters & found myself really rooting for them. I enjoyed it (:
