I don't understand the hype. It was weird. As other haters of this book have said, the book doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Sometimes it sounds like a comfy old classic but then there's randomly a bunch of melodramatic elements like the car crash and cancer and stuff and the characters will randomly swear a bunch and then not again for another 100 pages. It didn't make sense. Also, it was very sentimental but in a bad way (at least for me) it felt very cliched especially at the end. Maya kind of pissed me off but I can't really say why she's just really snobby (like her stepdad). I was skimming his stupid “deep” prose about life and love and stuff. Also the time jumps were muy confusing and the romance skipped too many steps. They met then suddenly its been 4 years and they're both single now, they kiss then we skip like 3 or 4 years and he proposes then we skip again to the wedding. There's no time for development because they keep skipping. Just wasn't the right book for me.
