Endless thanks to the publisher for the early copy!!

So, to give you an idea of how much I liked this, I would've read it in a single morning if I had the time to. I went into this without many expectations, and it was a lovely surprise.

» The characters were so raw and real. Kit is a popular girl isolating herself in an attempt to cope with her father's death in a car accident. David is a solitary boy on the autism spectrum, and he's honestly so sweet. I liked them both, but I just can't even with David.

» The family dynamics. Kit and her mom have issues throughout the book as they deal with loss and grief in their own way, but they come together and I loved it. And David's family, especially his sister Lauren, are so supportive and protective of him. It was great.

» Kit and David first met because Kit didn't want to sit with her friends. From there they developed a friendship and they helped one another out in different ways. The step up to something more was also amazing, and can I just say that David sounds like an adorable boyfriend..? Because he DOES.

» The story was always interesting. To be honest, it was much better than I thought it would be. The second half was especially gripping, and if I could've read the last 80 pages last night to find out what happened I would've. Regardless, I was absolutely riveted up the very last page, even in the orthodontist's office. And that twist? I never, ever expected it!!

» The ending was perfect. I can't say how, because spoilers, but just trust me. SQUEE.

» Oh, and this also happens to be a diverse story. Kit is Indian-American, and David, as I said, is on the autism spectrum.
