Adored the Netflix series, had to read the book after! Nicholls writes the characters beautifully and develops them well over the novel which spans 20 years. I became invested in their lives and devastated towards the end of the story. It did feel slow in places and the style of writing switching between action was confusing to start off with but all in all a wonderful read. Would definitely recommend!

Not a terrible book but a bit meh. I didn’t particularly like the characters and thought they were idiots for not getting together for so long. If I had liked them then perhaps it would have been 3 stars.
I like the concept of having each chapter being the same day just a year in the future but I felt it missed out a lot of plot and left me again feeling like I didn’t care.
It was alright and I don’t regret reading it but I won’t reread it

This book was exactly the kind of book I've been searching for my whole life.
