I’m not one for romances, but I really enjoyed this in spite of that (I think if you like romance, you’ll like the romance-y bits). I found myself really wanting to know what happened next and find out the mystery. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that I felt the antagonist was viewed through a modern day lens and so was cut more slack than they deserved. I would definitely read more from this author (and watch it if they made this i to a movie lol).

I cry a lot when I read. Almost every book I've ever read makes me emotional... but I have never cried so hard in my entire life than when I was reading this story. You already know that when you're sobbing on page 11 that it's going to be rough. Even though the story gutted me to pieces, I still loved every bit of it. Jess and Will's story was intermingled with Stella and Dan's in a way that seemed seamless. I didn't want to put it down. Grey's storytelling abilities are immaculate and I felt as though I was feeling everything that the characters were feeling. This was an incredible story and something I think needs to be read. 

I'm not the best at explaining all of the technical aspects of a book that make it great; I just know what I feel. And the feelings that this book evoked from me were sad and beautiful and everything in between. It was so incredibly lovely and absolutely one of my favorite books of all time.

If I wasn't convinced in the ultimate beauty that is love, I certainly was after finishing this.

I loved it so much, maybe just the Will story was a little rushed but I was crying so much at the end. It was heavy on emotions but through it all it was a really nice read <3

Truly a beautiful story, but it was quite emotionally heavy at times (not in the best way) and really slow paced. 
You could sometimes feel the love steam out of the pages, which was really nice. 
Stella and Dan's story was very detailed :), but Jess and Will's seemed too short? Instant? a little rushed?
Overall, I enjoyed it.
