This book might take me a while to get over. My heart feels full and whole like never before and I think I might burst. Let's try and collate my thoughts. 
 First of all, this story broke me so many times. I felt the heartache of loss, grief, and losing first loves. Moments with Noah took me back to moments in my life that I thought couldn't be revisited, and it left me shaking and feeling sick with grief. I loved hearing the story from the dual perspectives, set when Noah was 13/14 and when Jude was 16, it definitely made a huge impact on the way the story was received and the impact it gave. 
 Every character felt real. Everyone was someone who I could relate to, or someone who I felt as if I had known. Although Oscar falls into a somewhat 'bad boy' stereotype, he was undeniably one of my favourite characters. The way in which all the stories intertwine made me so happy. 
 I think something else that made me enjoy this book so much was the connection with death, especially Jude's way of dealing with everything. She was such a loveable character who reminded me a little too much of myself and for that I am grateful. I am also so glad that nothing was sugar coated and this story didn't feel like something that couldn't have happened in real life. Not everything has a happy ending, but that doesn't mean things don't work out the way they are supposed to. 
 I feel so much for this book, and will probably add more into this review once I have had time to reflect on it a little more.
