Oh my god. Before I say anything, you should know I basically never cry. Tears rarely even start forming in my eyes due to books. Even some of the saddest books don't do it for me. 
Now tell me why I literally bawled my eyes out at least 4-5 times? Then I finished the book and I felt alright, and then burst into tears again? And not just cried but literally sobbed?

This is more a contemporary than a romance. If you've ever had a group of really close friends, and start growing up together (or apart), this will hit so hard. It's the story of friendship that feels like family, and that cavity that never quite gets filled up when you feel like you've grown apart a bit. You never truly cope or heal from it. 

I feel empty. I'm gonna go stare at a wall for a bit and then go for a drive with no aim. Good night <3.
