"I liked this book. Was occasionally bored. Not sure how I feel about the ending."

"3.8/5 ⭐️ This was a cute read. I liked the dialogue, the writing was easy to understand and follow, and the characters were likeable. The plot, however, I felt like could have been better. I understand the main focal point was Ash and Poppy’s love, but I wished they equally focused on the love Ash had for her family and for Adara - how they felt, reacted etc. when she died and after. I wish the same was done for Poppy as well. I definitely felt like they could have expanded on that without taking away from Ash and Poppy’s love story. After all, the slogan on the cover is “After life, love continues” - so that definitely could have also applied to other people she has/had love for in her life. I know they touched on it a little bit in the “After” portion, but it almost felt like an afterthought. Otherwise though, I enjoyed this book."
