What the hell I’m still crying 😭

This book was so good, I can’t actually believe I spent so many years without reading it!!

The plot, the characters, the story, the dual timeline, THE TWIST. Fuck I cried so much 😭

I was on the edge biting my nails, I just wanted them to be happy and to be together again, I was obsessed for 48 hours straight to be honest with you guys.

The story is so beautiful written, everything is so wonderfully executed, this is officially a lifetime favorite. Can you blame me?? I’m a sucker for second chance romance 😩❤️‍🩹

The only thing I didn’t liked much was that the thing that is revealed at the end that happened to our dear Elliot is not talked enough. I mean, is a serious situation and it didn’t get the needed attention from my point of view.. (I don’t want to spoil anything so that’s all I’m gonna say) And that’s the only reason why this isn’t an absolute 5 stars for me.

Apart from that, I loved it. All of it. Loved the message that the story leaves

“I want us to move past this closet” fuck that’s so metaphorically beautiful.
