This book is so fucking sad and slow paced. I read it in 3 days and loved it.

I didn’t expect to even like this book. I’m not one for the “best friend’s brother” trope or wattpad writers, but here I am ugly sobbing over it. 

The characters are lovable in a heartbreaking sort of way. Truman was really relatable to me, which isn’t something I say about many characters. I cried in probably every chapter from his POV. 

This book is probably not for everyone. Not much gets resolved plot-wise, and the characters blaming themselves for Katie’s accident is constant and not very logical, but that’s just how grief is.

I really liked that the two main characters handled their grief and depression in different ways.

Alex Light is an amazing writer. This book was so beautifully written and the characters really felt like real people with real and complicated emotions. I’ve never been in a situation like Eden or Truman, but I understood them. I also loved how she humanized Katie. She wasn’t just their loved one that they raised on a pedestal because she wasn’t with them, since she had flaws too. Flaws that still impact her best friend and her brother.

I also loved Eden and Truman’s chemistry. I thought they were really sweet.

My problem is that the plot doesn’t really start until like 70% through the book. I would have loved to see Truman and Eden interact in the present day more than we do.

I also usually don’t like an ending like that, though, it did feel right for this situation.
