An endearing story about friendship, understanding, family, growth, and self reflection. I liked seeing Dannie become less ridged and more flexible as the book progresses. I love Bella, she was my favorite. I would love to read a second book to see what their lives are like in five more years.

What a beautifully written book. I really liked the main character, as well as all the side characters in the picture. The dilemma the main character faces is a big one: I think that in the hands of another writer, she could have come off as whiny and annoying, but I found myself being understanding of her, being frustrated and happy right along with her. I won't spoil anything, but I will say that the ending was beautiful. I highly recommend this book

I am devastated. I finished reading this 10 minutes ago, and I’m still sobbing. Beautiful & sad. I loved this story.

I hated this book. The premise was really cool. I shut hated the plot and specifically the second half to the way it ended. I don’t really get why a lot of people like it and if you’re looking for a romcom this is definitely not your book.

Not at all what I expected but not mad about it one bit. It’s weird to feel content about an ending that includes such tangible emotions regarding death but that’s exactly how the end of this book left me feeling. Another review said it felt like the rug was pulled from under them and I agree — the ending was not how I imagined this book going at all but that just left me with so much more.

Just like the cover says this was a love story but not the one I expected at all. This story broke my heart but I loved it. I can understand the hype about this book and it definitely deserves it!!
