This book. THIS BOOK. Is an absolute masterpiece.

It captured the teenage feels so well that I felt like I was being transported to when I was 17 and falling in love. It had all the feels, the angst, the butterflies. It was so good.

The characters were really loveable, and their annoying attitudes with miscommunication portrayed teens perfectly ahah I really enjoyed it, and I didn't want to finish the book, which I hadn't felt in a whileee. Please read it, and reminisce your teen years.

Such a fun and cute book, I’m so glad I finally got around to reading it. The discussions of grief are done soooo well, and the romance is absolutely amazing!
