the book deserved 3.5 stars but did not deserve a round up to 4 stars.

the good:
- i really enjoyed how this book was written. the writing was beautiful!! writing style was reminiscent of “me before you”.
- generally a good plot
- a tear jerker, but did not leave me sobbing
- was meant to be a commute read but i couldnt put it down.

the bad:
- (ik im literally an example of this BUT) just found out im not a fan of love stories happening at 15-17 yrs old??? i felt like i would have appreciated their love story more if they weren’t in high school or expanded more into their adolescence
- although i said it was a good plot, it was very typical. i feel like ive read/watched so many version of this book. there was nothing special about the plot itself.
- only one plot twist which was also very predictable.
