First of all, I want to thank Flux and NetGalley for allowing me to read an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest opinion. Now let's get into this, shall we? 

Oof, this book hurts. You know the song "Hurts like hell"? Well, this is the summary of this book. In the story, we have two timelines: the past, before the "Worst Night" and the present, months after the "Worst Night". And we follow Rory and her friendship with Liv, as they become friends, and while Rory catches romantic feelings toward Liv. 

At first, when I was reading the before I was like "Ugh this looks like a Jon Green book, and they are so not like the other girls", but the after kept me reading. And, yes they might not be like the other girls, especially Rory, but it is more complicated, they are more complicated and complex. The characters are touching, but most importantly they have flaws, and it really shows during the story.

This is a book with good characters, and that will hit you right in the feels. It deals with mental health, friendship, love, family, grief, death... A lot of heavy topics, that made me cry. And Rory, falling for your bf? Yeah, I get the feeling tbh. 

So yes, this book made me cry, and it was my first read for Sapphic September, I think it's a good choice right?  

So please, go read this book.

Also, a funny thing: now that I'm not a teenager anymore, I can totally understand and/or relate to the parents (even if they can be wrong in their actions).
