This book was definitely good, not Henry’s best but still a beautiful and realistic story.

One thing that really just pulled me out of reality was the inability to communicate between two people who loved each other so much. I do understand the idea of the book was this built up to a point where it pushed them apart but it just seems so unreal that a couple that in love would let themselves get there. 

I did cry in the bit where Wyn shares how his dad’s passing made him feel. That felt the most real to me, the mourning of a loved one and how to handle it is so insanely hard, that is where I started to feel like this made more sense.
