This book was excellent overall. Overall, the only think that I disliked was the time-jumping because it didn't clearly (imo) establish the original time so when we go back and forth in time it is a bit disorienting and I had to reengage with the story.
Characters: The 2MCs are both well-written and foil each other with differing relationships with their mother and unexplained opposition between the two of them. The supporting characters felt a bit forced in at some points, but necessary and the interconnected relationships they all form works well for the plot
Themes: Grief, Trauma, Loss, Dysfunctional Family Systems, Mental Health, Friendship, Parenting, Personal Growth
Plot: I really enjoyed the plot. I thought framing the story with each (almost) kiss served as a good device, and gives you mini stories within the main arc.
