If he had been with me everything would have been different... I wasn't with Finn on that August night. But I should've been. It was raining, of course. And he and Sylvie were arguing as he drove down the slick road. No one ever says what they were arguing about. Other people think it's not important. They do not know there is another story. The story that lurks between the facts. What they do not know—the cause of the argument—is crucial. So let me tell you...

"I did not enjoy the ending also many moments made me cringe throughout the book like her tiara scenes. (SPOILER ALERT)
Im being honest here I never noticed that Autum was depressed there were scenes she was sad or saying stuff, but I didn’t think that it was to that extreme only after her mom points it out to her is when her whole character changes to that. My thoughts on Autum are she was so naive when Finn did so many things to prove his feelings for her also she didn’t grow up mentally at all she never admitted to anything she was feeling or thinking even the final scenes with finn seemed off. I think Finn’s character was great despite the lack of communication with anyone besides Jack. The whole cheating in the end was wrong, he was never doing the right thing with Sylvie when he lead her on the whole time and no it was not romantic what he said to Autum “But I also feel like I been loyal to something bigger” um no finny you were doing what her ex did to her but to Sylvie and thats terrible she had some character growth (the only one that did honestly) she tried to get along with Autum we didn’t hear about it anymore but it did happen! In conclusion this whole story just yells “SPEAK UP”. "

"😱 The ending. The twist. The whole story. 😱
I do have one critique though. There are more ways to say “I said, she said, he said.” Idk but it bothered me whilst reading. "

"I saw a lot of good reviews about this book so I was really excited to read it, but it was kind of a let down. I found it really boring and I was really glad when I finished it. The ending was sad but not nearly as heart wrenching as I was expecting. "

"This book 🥹🥹 so good!! Some parts were predictable and it’s a very fast paced book, but I ended up loving it and it’s a comfort book for sure! "

"At first, I didn’t think I was going to like this book, but the more I read the more I liked it. Although it didn’t make me cry, it was so sad and heartbreaking to read! "

"I feel like this story had the potential to be that beautiful heartbreaking story you can’t get out of your head, but the author just wasn’t the right person to write it. I hated every minute of it. "
