i really did not like this book but I'm not gonna rewrite my whole review because it is WAY TOO LONG
I personally loved this book, and knowing the ending made it even sadder as I went along, because I knew that they might never realise their love for each other in time, or that they would never get to tell each other what they really thought of them.
I found the body of the book a bit draggy and it was basically just high school drama- like nothing was happening till the end. It was captivating but nothing rly happened. The end though- *chef's kiss* I loved it so much and i sobbed so much after reading it. Like i didn't even know that it was supposed to be sad then i read it and i was like- holy ship
I hated this book with all of my heart. I literally spent a whole date complaining about this book. The MOST unlikeable main character.

I loved this book. Deep, emotional and addresses so many issues without outright saying it. Haven't read the second yet though.
i actually liked it! by far not my favorite though and i never find myself thinking about it
Hello. So this is such an incredible question because yes while this book did my break in every place that it could possibly be broken and made me cry for days on end there was the fact that it was a novel that I could not put down just because of how intrigued I was by Autumn and Finnys complicated relationship. I saw similar questions talking about Sylvie being the victim in this story and not Autumn but the part that some people might not understand and that I have only recently come to realize is that everyone is the victim and everyone is the villain in someones story. Whether this is purposeful and cruel actions or misunderstanding conversations there is always multiple sides of the story and I almost think that rather than if only i had told her I could use a book from Sylvies point of view especially after witnessing Finnys death and not fully understanding the depth to his relationship with Autumn. I do like and recommend this book and I understand that for some people it isn't exactly the read they are going for but for me it really worked and I still think about them constantly and am curious as of how there relationship would have worked out if the unfortunate death of Finny would have been prevented. I do truly believe that if this book was from Sylvies perspective there would be a lot more hate on Autumn as well as on Finny but I think that is where the not everything is black and white come in where it is really up to perspective or just an open mind in general.
I did not like this book. As an adult, I like to give YA books a chance, but this was way too cliche and young for me. It lacked in every aspect I expect a book to give me.
I despised this book. I really do think it was the worst thing I've ever read. I get it's a novel about teenagers, but Autumn was just so childish and whiny. It was hard to read.
The books weren't terrible but I expected more. I didn't have a "cried my eyes out" reaction. It was sad though, don't get me wrong. I'm usually crying like a baby when I read, but this duet, wasn't for me. It just felt like a bunch of high school drama to me, but at the same time, WHO'S high school experience is like this?!?!
I had huge expectation for this book and to be honest I didn’t really cry at the end because it was so rushed and boom Finny was dead the next day which made me furious. Why did he have to die so sudden when they just got together?! That made it so tragic and I was really sad, more upset. But I kinda accepted it, because it somehow made the story whole and I kind of, thinking of it back, like it.
I loved and hated this book. I will admit it was a bit confusing, and I get why people don't like Autumn, but I love her, because we are so similar. This book gave me so many flashbacks to my childhood best friend who I was sure I was gonna marry one day until we grew apart. I also literally hate how much pain I am in three days after reading it but that's mostly because I am trying to read the sequel which is a hundred times more painful ngl

I absolutely loved and actually finished within one day after I got it. it was one of the first times I've been able to finish a medium size book that fast.

Surprisingly yeah. It was cliche and some or most of the characters were cringe but I did like it I don't know why tho...
Yess!! It was so good I reread it multiple times! I loved this book with my life!! I was so good, and it made me so sad and happy when I finished. I can't wait to read book two!
I'm someone that cries easily and the ending of this book did not make me cry. Part of it may have been because you know it's going to happen from chapter one, but I think a bigger part was that it was rushed and very matter-of-fact. There was no emotion behind it. The rest of book was good. It was easy to read and kept me interested enough to finish it in a couple days.

I didn't like it for a while too, It felt very dragged out and some parts unnecessary as well as predictable but I still did cry at the end when he did die.
