I thought the ending was sad and made me feel like the American Dream is unachievable.

I am almost contemplating not finishing this book because I just really hate it. The two main characters are really cliche and they are moving so quickly in a relationship and I get that it is supposed to correspond with the actions of the story but I don't like it.

This book is sort of cliche and weird. I don’t really like any of the girls because they are tying way to hard to be different and unique. They are also super dramatic about the situation they are in. The guys are also annoyingly pushy and obvious about what they are.

This book has started off really weird. I'm not sure why Riley would choose the place she did for an adventure during summer. The woman she is staying with seems really reserved and strict. They are in the middle of nowhere so I have no idea where this book is going.

The ending of this book made me so upset. I thought it was so well written and the ending was definitely not expected necessarily for a romance novel. I still wished it was different because Elio was heartbroken and I thought Oliver was being very selfish.

I thought Daisy was really sweet even though she was pushy. I wanted to like Tom but just knowing he is cheating on Daisy made me like him a lot less. I think Nick is kind of self deprecating in a sort of way but at the same time I think he might just be very blunt.

I really don't like how this book ended. It ended with Oakley getting her dad into prison which was the good part because of the awful things he was letting happen to her but then because she didn't want to be in that house anymore, her mom said they were going to be moving away which put a cliffhanger on the book.

Oakley wants to open up to Cole but she is afraid to say anything because she doesn't want to get in trouble. She thinks her dad will kill her if she shares anything with anyone.

Oakley is so sad. I feel bad for her although I'm not sure what happened to her to make her stay silent. Everyone at her school have literally no sympathy for her just because she doesn't speak. They don't take into consideration that she has clearly gone through a trauma.

I feel like Oliver is sort of dismissive of Elio out in public even though he obviously likes him. I know Oliver is going t lo have to go back to America soon and it makes me angry that he treats Elio like he is invisible sometimes.

Oliver is very charming and I can tell Elio is giving into him even though he is rather overly confident. Elio is still sort of entitled but wants to see what adventures Oliver can take him on.

I was kind of immediately interested in this book. Elio is sort of uptight in the beginning, it seems like he thinks he's a little better than everyone else but might have some insecurities. Oliver on the other hand is totally confident and cocky. He has no doubt in himself. He is very casual and Elio already doesn't like that about him.

This book was amazing. The main character was such a strong and loyal woman. She was faced with adversity and managed to stay true to herself and her beliefs. Even though this was a fictional and fantasy book, it was a good moral compass for people in the real world because we face similar struggles of choosing between what is easy and what is good.

I think this book is really good because it discusses eating disorders in an entertaining way because it has a romantic side to it and add humor.
