This book was a slow build its a cute slow build story then the last 20-30% tore you apart. If you read the synopses on the story you can figure it out. But I don't always read the whole thing. I'm glad I didn't it gave the end more of a impact for me. I haven't cried cried in a book in awhile and this one got me.

Anna is the sweetest girl and does everything for everyone wants to please everyone. But inside she feels so alone. But she hides it from the world and she never opens up to her family or friends. Just keeps the smile in place.

Weston is the school/ band outcast. He left his Jr. year and when he comes back there's so many rumors and stories surrounding him. He never was that popular but its worse no one wants to give him a chance. The only friends are 2 boys he's always been friends with. But he's not sure if they really want to be his friend or just around because they always have been.

Anna needs help with her bands duet and Weston is playing the other part who better to ask. He says yes without really meaning to. He tries to pawn it off on his friend but there's something about her he cant figure out what it is. Like calls to like

Despite what her friends and family say about him (because of rumors) they start a friendship which turns into a relationship. She's finally standing up for herself to her friends and family and finding herself. Then the End happens and gutted.

I do wish the end expanded on her afterwards how she's changed as a person. Her sadness is 100% but I would of loved to see the shaping years after.

I had the E book and Audio and thank god I did to switch back and forth between the two. I had to switch fully to the audio at the end.

I was about 25% into the book and I knew It was gonna stick with me. One of my favorite movies growing up was garden state there is a quote about people after they grow up there home isn't there home anymore and they spend the rest of there life looking for a place that is home.

Full Flight had a quote very similar and I had to highlight it right away and it will now stay with me.

"When my room is dark and a certain piece of music comes on my headphones, or when the sun hits the lake just right, I’ll feel homesick for a place I’ve never been. But you don’t tell people that, not even the Ratios or Jonathans of the world, because they’ll think you’re being melodramatic or too much of whatever it is that people are afraid of having too much of. Instead, I quietly collect them, the moments that make me hungry for something I’ve never tasted, hoping that someday I’ll be able to piece them together into a map that will lead me to a place where wildfires make sense and the people you love don’t change or leave or break. Anna’s warmth at my side makes me reconsider that the homesickness is an unknown place. Maybe it’s a person. Maybe it’s her. "


Special thanks to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for sharing this digital reviewer copy/ Audio Arc with me in exchange my honest thoughts.
