I didn’t cry but it was like a cinderblock fell through my stomach. Beautiful novel.

I gave this a 4.75

It was such a wonderful story. Honestly, it was so sweet and then the heartbreak. I knew it wasn’t going to be happily ever after about half way. 

I was sad when they broke up but I was utterly devastated with Parker died. I knew his parents were going to hurt him worse than anything. 

I cried while Noah reading Parker’s letter and his finale visit to his grave. 

I hope to learn that Noah is okay. I know he will never forget Parker but still. I felt that it just ended and I wish for more closure a bit. 


But that’s life, I guess. I am still going to read the second book but thank you for making me ugly cry.

This book is the reason I read trigger warnings now. 

The biggest beef i have with this book, is not that it triggered the worst panic attack of my life while driving, but the timeline and use of exact dates. In particular
the funeral took place on
"Sunday" February 25, 2019. My beef is that my friend committed suicide on Feb 24, 2019 and that day is burned into my memory as most definitely being Sunday. Every date in this book is correct, except when we get to Feb and somehow the days of the week don't match the dates.
