4.75 stars--1/4 star deducted because I feel like the love triangle was unnecessary, but shhh! Onto the rest of the review! 
 Wow, okay, so I was not expecting to fall in love with this book, but it did a damn good job of sucking me in. Fuck. 
 When I first started this book, judging by the summary and the first few chapters, I was expecting it to fall maybe around the 3-star range. I kinda figured that the obstacle Jules (our MC) would have to overcome would be like, a divorce or a parental death (seeing as those are so common in YA for some reason???), but MAN was I fucking wrong. 
 I'll tell ya, this book was an EMOTIONAL FUCKING TRAINWRECK. Fuck. I didn't cry (because I'm heartless, apparently???), but I came damn close to it a few times. All of the characters, especially Jules and Katie, felt so real and like, I could feel their grief and sadness radiating onto me or something. Heck, it felt like I was there grieving with them and, honestly, I was sad when it ended. When this book ended, it was literally one of those moments where I had to stop everything--turn off my music, close out of iBooks, turn off my iPad--breathe, and take it all in. 
 I guess if I had one complaint about this book, it would be that maybe it focuses on romance a little too much considering what happened? But, I mean, it was a traumatic event that brought Jules and West together so I suppose it's understandable and it's not like the romance is all this book was about. The grief was still very real, West and Jules have a hurt/comfort relationship, and I could definitely feel that. 
 Anyway, wow. I know this review is very vague, but that's purposely so because I don't want to spoil anything. I don't even want to put a spoiler censor over anything in case people see this review and peek, so...I guess I'll end this here. 
 Wow. 
 This book was beautiful. <3
