I will never move on from this book. It’s gut wrenching and intriguing I have never read anything like it

This has to be my first YA book that I’ve really enjoyed. I felt like the story was a little predictable, but still hit me like a train-wreck when it all unfolded. It took one page for my heart to shatter for the characters.𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐧 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.

This book emotionally destroyed me, I love finny and Autumn their friendship reminded me of one of my friends when I was younger, for the last 20 minutes I've been crying and I can't believe it, lots of people said this was emotional and I understand what they mean, 100% recommend!

I don't know what to make of this one. I wasn't keen on the protagonist character and the way she came across as too self absorbed. I liked the opening of the story and I liked the ending even though it was sad and could see it coming I just didn't get the reason for most of the rest of it. It felt unnecessary to me. I don't know I definitely have mixed feelings on this one.

I came into this book thinking it would be a book that sat on my kindle account and took me weeks to read but in reality it took me a few hours such an amazing emotional book 😭😭😭

So this book was posted everywhere I went with people saying it is amazing. And because it was already on my TBR I decided this had to be the next one I read. From the prologue, I already had high suspicions of how this book was going to end. There were many hints dropped throughout the whole story so I knew the ending was inevitable. But it still didn’t prepare me for the heart wrenching moment I read it in black and white. I think there has only been one other book which I cried at but this book had me sobbing when I got to end. Sobbing for a young teenagers misunderstanding. Sobbing for missed opportunities. Sobbing for not saying what we feel when we feel it and keeping it inside. Sobbing for relationships that start too late. For things that could have been but now never will. This story has broke me into a thousand pieces. I feel broken inside; the same way I did when my first love relationship ended. That is how incomplete this book has made me feel. This whole book, I have rated it a 3 because the writing wasn’t entirely the best but it was good enough that I could continue on. But the last twenty minutes of this book had me upping the rating due to how much this story touched me. If you can evoke an emotional response from your reader then you have done a good job. And this author did an amazing job. This is one of those books that will sit at the back of my mind forever remembered, quietly torturing me and haunting my soul. I still keep hoping that what I read was a lie and there’s going to be some miracle that says it didn’t happen the way it did. And there’s a HEA. But not everyone gets a HEA and that’s the harsh reality of the world and perfect love stories.

I really love this book, and I read the other one if only I told her and Love it so much I don’t really like reading books. This is just amazing

The miscommunication in this book was something else. I hated it and I loved it! The real eye opening part was how we all have our own version of events and we never really see the same things. I loved everything about this book except Jamie. Hated his guts and I’m so so glad he never ended up with autumn. Hated Sasha to how could she do that her best friend. I loved autumn and finny and my poor heart was broken by the end of this book. I wanted her to be with him and when it was happening I was cheering from the rooftops. The last page of this book tho had me screaming. How could it end just like that! I immediately brought both books in paper back and I can’t wait to read book 2. This book was everything I never knew I needed to read. I hope future readers feel the same too
