The book felt like a 3 star but then towards the last few chapters there were some letters and those letters made me bump my 3 stars to a 3.75. The letters also almost made me cry coz they were so raw.

I loved how this book shows that life/love is complicated and sometimes there are simply no right choices.

Also I was enjoying it until abt the half mark point and then I realized that some scenes were familiar and it was coz the rest of the parts in the book felt like the same scenes repeated over and over and over just in different ways...get what I mean? and it became soo boring which was why the book was feeling like a 3 star.

What I didn't expect was to relate to Gus, right down to the vomit phobia lol. I got so annoyed coz all January did was vomit.(Get drunk she vomits, happy, she vomits, smthg bad happens she vomits, eats a pretzel or smthg she vomits) and in these parts I just had to skip coz I hate the talk of it.(even while writing this review I am trying not to think abt what im writing coz like I said I hate the word and everything to do with it.)

Also I saw in many reviews that said the book was dark which was why I bought the physical copy in the first place but it wasn't as dark as I was expecting.

So idk if my review makes sense
