I'm glad I was able to experience this book before the movie trailers and everything spoiled the story for me. This was more of a tear-jerker than I expected going into it, but I did enjoy the book and its message to readers. The main characters had a beautiful start to their love story, so I was honestly stunned when things started to shift. It was upsetting and hard to continue reading, but I think that was the point, because I imagine that feeling is a lot like the way Lily probably felt through that experience. 

So... because of that, despite my mixed feelings about the lack of trigger warnings, I can see why the author chose to present the story the way she did. I think all stories are important to tell, some are just harder to hear than others. I'm thankful I heard this one.
