Jumping into this book, I knew it would be a tragic read – but damn this one really got me. Juli, Eric, and Oskar could not catch a break! So many things went wrong for these boys and a lot of stuff felt unresolved. Still, with everything that happened in this book, the fact that Juli survived the end of this story is a win! I'm counting it as a win, love be damned! Really felt for the boys & adored Oskar to pieces and I'd like the think they reunite in the future and remain friends after everything that happened between them!
