The ending felt a little rushed with sudden development (in the communication level)and a predictable happy ending.  Otherwise, the book was beautiful with sweet and sad main characters, lots of angsty moments and miscommunications.

This book made me feel so sad and hopeless almost until the end.
The story unfolds from two different points in time and I just wanted to know, what the hell happened back then and I just wanted to hug Juliet and tell her that everything's gonna be all right. 
The HEA felt very earned, even though I'd have loved, if there was mention of some therapy at any point, because these two need it
