This is a really difficult one. I’ve seen so many people rave about this book and give it 5 star reviews that I went into this book with high expectations and finished it a little disappointed.

Don’t get me wrong, it is a beautiful story and I was desperate to deep dive into how Elliot and Macy’s adorable friendship/young love turned into heartbreak, because they were so freaking adorable! They were so precious! I was devastated at the final twist at the end and my heart was aching. 

However, I was just expecting abit more from the book (don’t ask me what cos I don’t know lol). I think the time jump of 10 years is abit unrealistic, like how are you still holding onto this stuff after 10 years, it felt abit dramatic given what happened. I think a time jump of maybe 4-5 years would have been more realistic/understandable.

I really enjoyed the dual POVs of then and now and how those parts of the story kind of connected. It made it a really enjoyable read and kept me engaged.

Overall, I enjoyed the book, but it wasn’t my favourite especially as I went in with such high expectations. But 100% worth the read.
