Buddy read this heartbreak of a book with this cutie over here.


I'm out of words and I'm definitely going to need some time to recover from this book that sorta destroyed my soul, and sorta filled it with the warmest feelings.
I absolutely loved it. I loved the characters, the writing, the pop culture references (so many of them!) and the way the plot unraveled, even if it ended up breaking my heart in two.
Many thanks to my reading pal for suffering with me.
And thanks, Mr Jordon Greene. Thanks for including so many amazing bands that I adore (BLB??? My highschool self is cheering so bad right now) and thanks for making Noah, Parker and Cam some of the most realistic and relatable characters I've read about. And, of course, thanks for this little rare gem that I highly recommend to all my friends who like cute, realistic stories and who aren't afraid of having their feelings played with.

Haven’t cried while reading a book in so long. The last few chapters had me sobbing.

I haven’t been enjoying it up to the 30% mark (did NOT like the main character and plot was eh) and after reading other people’s reviews I do not think it will get better

This book was... so good.
I have no words.
Just no.
I cried my eyes out.


5/5 stars. And deserved.
