Easily the most bittersweet book i have ever read. even in the happiest moments, i was still so sad. i loved this book so much, and i think there is something in it for everyone

it was a pretty cringey book, and i didnt feel much chemistry the main characters, but it was still cute enough. a few of the plot points felt forced, but some were really good. i enjoyed the interactions between lauren and her cousins.

at first, i didnt think i was going to like it that much, and ari kind of got on my nerves, but oh my goodness did that change. i have just read a beautiful story of love and friendship and growing up and it was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. i think everyone in the world should read this book, because i think everyone will have a different relationship with this text.
