i was surprised to see if he had been with me so high in the rankings, my own personal opinion is i felt like it too sad for comfort, it is a very dark and depressing read if i'm being honest it took out a lot of me after reading it, maybe because I'm such a heavy empath but i felt like some of the decisions she made for the storyline and characters were almost too depressing and unnecessary, spoiler warning.... but having finny die and then autumn try to kill herself and then she finds out she’s PREGNANT??!! i have watched many sad movies and sad books but it felt like too much personally, and if only i had told her was even worse, it felt like every line was "finny is dead, finny is gone, he's never coming back", i couldn't even finish the book because it was so depressing, i just feel like for her to give us 83 chapters to get attached to a character and then suddenly kill him is kinda insane. maybe i just didn’t pick up on the clues foreshadowing his death but it hit me like a bullet train when it happen. theres a difference between sad stories when u shed a few tears and move on 10 minutes later to this absolutely dismissal gut wrenching story that made me cry for a week non stop. i haven’t picked up a book since and refuse to get attached to any fictional characters again. if i could give this book 0 stars
i would giving it one star alone is a crime. i HATE the unnecessary morbid storyline and the character development that was completely destroyed by the end of the book. I do not recommend reading this book unless u wanna be completely shattered. Anytime i see nobody reading this book i immediately warn them about how terrible it is. i expect u to pay for my therapy. an apology with tears, this book off the market while ur at it, and i want a full refund thanks.
