I really enjoyed this book! It was fast paced, nothing dragged on too long or went too fast and I love all the characters. Reading this book would absolutely dissolve time! Sometimes it would feel like I’d only been reading for 30 minutes but it had actually been 2 hours!
The writing style was amazing! I loved the unfinished sentences and the sentences with strikethroughs because it made it easier for me to connect with Juliette & understand what was happening in her mind. I can relate to the racing thoughts, thinking and rethinking things over and over again.
Although I absolutely adored this book, I only gave it 4 stars because I got a bit sick of all the metaphors. There were some really great ones, but around 60% through they just seemed to be forced into the writing and sometimes didn’t flow nicely.
