weird ending...
The book was moving right along and I thought I was on the same page (bad pun, sorry) and then we get to the end "I want you to have my baby. We can tell people it was another boy from school that got you pregnant" uh, did I just walk into a bad porno? And it kinda just abruptly ended after that. I was confused as to what just happened.

This was a bit slow off the mark, but their adult relationship is worth the wait. There's lots of angsty heartfelt moments, and one of the more satisfying conclusions I've read from this genre so far.
The bullying is never particularly harsh, and I was a bit annoyed that it wasn't more gut-punching initially. It brought the angst-game in hard later though, so all is forgiven.
The writing could be just a little awkward at times. I didn't find the banter between Ellec and Greta particularly witty, and I didn't find the repeated anagram-play throughout the book clever or cute... () You could argue that it was just a part of their imperfect characters; They both seem to find it clever of EACH OTHER in those moments, and that's what matters - so it's by no means a deal breaker.
Criticisms aside, I still really really enjoyed this read, which goes a lot to say how well she did everything else RIGHT.
The ongoing insights into the vulnerability of the characters, their skirting around each other, and how they've dealt with the impact they've had on each others lives - despite their separation - was definitely rewarding enough to overcome minor flaws.
The growing sexual and romantic tension was crafted very well, without relying on the exhausted "interrupted while about to have first kiss" element of the "almost kiss" trope.
My heart bled for these characters during so many moments, and their motivations for not being together were believable. There's a surprise in this book about the background of one of the characters that played into this very well. Other key characters were not villianised to create or demolish obstacles for our romantic would-be couple, and instead added depth and emotional gravitas to circumstances pulling them apart.
I don't think most anyone interested in this genre could be disappointed with this book.
(The audiobook was satisfying too.)
