Finally finished this … it felt like it took me forever to read this book but looking back it was actually only 3 days. Had some issues getting into this book because I felt like not much was happening, but when I was about half way through the book I got really hooked by the story. I loved the characters, even though there were definitely many ;) I also had a very exact imagination of Will, I can’t even really explain why but the description of his light brown skin and freckles just created the most attractive man in my head lmao. I did really like this book but I think it could have been a bit longer because the ending was very random and abrupt. ,,Maybe happily ever after weren’t a singular event. Maybe they were something you had to work at , and build, and never give up on, as long as they were something you still wanted.“ TW: homophobia , grief 4,25 ⭐️

3,5/5 stars it is. Even if it has kind of a typical plot, it was written well and I liked how some things turned out in the end. Sure, most of it was predictable most of the time, but it was done in a good way. I also liked that it wasn't that huge of a hate-thing in the end, when Will came out to his parents/friends as he expected - they all kind of got along with it and it wasn't done in a "forced happy ending" way, but more naturally. Definitely a book you can read when you like that kind of storys.

I just can't get enough of this story!

THIS WAS WONDERFUL :> Literally all the soft feels! This was highly emotional for me, touching on some heart crushing topics (trigger warnings for: terminal illness, grief, homophobia). I identified with the protagonists & the ensemble so much, I loved how the friend group-dynamic played out, I was invested in all the sub-plots. Sure, it didn't take rocket science to figure out where the story was going, but I really liked Ollie's voice, it did not feel forcefully youthful, it just really resonated with me and my memories from high school and how I felt back then. That's a big, fat brava! from me!
