"This book tore me open, ripped me to shreds, forced everything that I thought I had gotten over or denied to the surface of my mind. It was torture. But it made me love every second of it. <br/>"

"*Thanks to Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review*<br/><br/>This novel started out long and slow, which is what bumps this one down to four stars for me. However, halfway through, the characters we’re developing. They became less stereotypical. The emotions of grief and love and loneliness became so real, and I really grew to love the characters. <br/>The romance was written well, developed over time, and a gentle, new love between teenagers. <br/>There is also great sibling bonding in the book which I adored. <br/>This story was a great breath of fresh air to start off the new year."
