This was not my typical kind of book but I ended up really enjoying it! I loved how the plot developed and the ending was incredibly satisfying and unexpected to me. I just LOVED how the Lucas who died when she was 16 woke up when they were 31 after having been in his 16 year old body to see Juliet again. I thought that was the perfect resolution.

fromjuliereads's review against another edition
This book was just not for me at all. I could see it working for others though.
The writing style was not for me. It was mostly in past tense and "broke the wall" a few times like the main character is writing to the reader. I didn't like the main character - who uses their toe to change the radio station in the car!? Her entire personality was that she laughed at everything... everything. A character laughed 36 times in these 80 pages, and about 80% of the time it was the main character...
I felt so uncomfortable about where the relationship was going. Juliet keeps talking about how she feels uncomfortable or unsafe with Lucas but then she does a 180 and says she wants to kiss him and hang out with him. It was so weird to flip between the two and then all of a sudden they are dating? I just wasn't a fan and understand I was not the audience for this book.
