I'm not entirely sure what to make of this book. I had high expectations due to what I'd heard about the new Netflix serie and wanted to read it before watching.

The ending was not what I expected. I was definitely rooting for Em, but I was conflicted about Dex. I couldn't decide if he genuinely cared for Em or if he just wanted to keep her close and use her when it suited him/had no one else to help and care for him.

As I approached the end of the book, I then realised how truly Dex felt when he recounted their story and his emotions when they met.

I particularly enjoyed the structure of the book, with its dual perspectives and the chapters marking each anniversary of their initial meeting.
