Nina LaCour’s writing is mesmerizing, definitely going to pick up her YA stuff after this one! This one definitely revealed things to me about myself through it’s characters that I kind of wasn’t prepared for, and I personally love when a book gets you / makes you reflect in such a way! Something about this just really got me in the feels…it does a really great job at exploring loss and just how devastating life can be, and how we can find beauty here and there and our own ways to make it through. It was heavy hitting and realistic in the same way that life is, in that sense. I enjoyed the style of going back and forth with character POVs, it was really well done / not jarring or disjointed. The pacing got a little rough towards the back half, and I wished we had gotten to see our two main characters together a bit more before the end. Overall, really lovely read.
