I did like how the story was told of Autumn and Finny, the years in school etc and how their friendship kept changing, but I did not like Autumn. Found her to be annoying, and all the stereotypes of teenagers were a bit much. 

The ending as well bothered me. Yes, it was the ending I expected, but the way it was finished felt rushed and kind of awkwardly done.
