Adelaide by Genevieve Wheeler
4.0

The author is in an online book club I am also in, so it’s been much discussed in the book club. Don’t let this cover fool you - this book is not a sweet romance. This story covers grief, loss, heartbreak, friendship, and mental health. I’d heard such good things about this book, so I was excited to be able to read it. It was not as amazing as I had expected it to be, and wanted it to be.

But the book was really good, especially at the end. It just took a bit to get to the really good parts! It is very emotional and I was very invested in the characters. Throughout the book, there are references to future events at the end of almost every chapter, which got a little repetitive. But I loved how this story was told in third-person omniscient. The love interest was very whiny and annoying at parts, which I did not love.
