I already knew what was going to happen and I still was almost crying at the end.

I enjoyed getting to know Adena more and see how she was spending her time during the trails. The chapters around her death were heartbreaking and beautiful.

Debbie Downer here 🙋🏻‍♀ 

I can't stand Adena. She's so naive, so gullible, it was painful to read about.

Mac was just...boring. The relationship wasn't develop any further other than "grumpy x sunshine" and you can tell.

While we knew Adena, I feel that we had too little time to get to know Mac and that made it hard for me to really care about him in the end.
