“If he had been with me, everything would have been different.”

-4.5/5 stars

I liked this way more than I thought I would. I heard really mixed reviews about this and I'm not super used to YA romance, so I thought it would be kind of cringy, but it was actually pretty good. The writing was way better than I expected, and I actually cried at the end, which was exactly what I wanted. It was a pretty realistic interpretation of how cliques in middle and high school affect a person's relationships wit ...more

um, what the hell?

HEAVY SPOILERS ahead (shouldn't matter because you should not read this anyway 😄)

nope. nope. nope. I wish I never read this. and not in the "it made me fucking bawl" way. in the "oh my god, this was terrible" way.

seriously. save your time. do not read this.

the fmc is annoying as fuck and she's always like "oh my god, I'm so smart. I'm so edgy. I'm so unique", the writing is too repetitive, and the ending was dreadful. the fuck you mean she's pregnant after hooking up once (so um, what the hell?

I feel like the entire ending was spoiled in the very first chapter. spoiler alert, he dies. given the context clues, you find this out literally on the first page, and it made the ending super underwhelming and not at all emotional because I already fucking knew he died and got over it. Thats the thing, you have NO emotional connection to characters on the first fucking page so I was indifferent about his death, and that didn't change.

and sure, ok, I feel bad, just a tiny bit, because they were best friends, finally confessed to each other they loved each other, then they hooked up, and then he went to break up with his girlfriend. YUP, he cheats on his girlfriend with the fmc, that's an ick dude. but then when he's in the car with said girlfriend, they argue, they crash, he dies. weeks later fmc finds out she's pregnant after trying to take her own life, whoo.

"and I'll be okay. and for the first time in years, I feel like things are going to turn out the way they were always meant to be" wtf? girly, you're in hospital because you tried to take your own life because you couldn't bear the pain that came with Finny's death, and now suddenly because you found out you're having his baby, you'll be okay? I think therapy is in your near future, girly pop.

also what's with her basically writing the entire premise and plot of this actual book, as the plot of the novel the fmc is writing?

idk man this sucked, immensely. 10/10 would NOT recommend

it's so bad I wanna give you a zero, but that's not possible so I give you a one. ...more

Okay, hear me out. As a young person, I got to chapter 6 and was like, "Nope!" I mean, it was the 5th chapter, and there was smut. I think it would be good for 16+, but don't rec for younger readers. ...more
