I didn’t like the fact that Nowlin started the book talking about the tragedy that drives the book forward. Now, plot? There are a couple of things I would’ve personally done differently. Because, of course, the nice, shy, cutesy guy is my favorite. Autumn was well-written even if she was a bit annoying at times. The characters felt unique, well thought out, and completely individualistic when it came to quirks, emotions, and driving forces. It just peeved me.Ĭharacter-wise? This book landed right on the mark. It honestly drove me a little mad and I cannot even begin to explain the reason why. Instead of saying “can’t,” it would be cannot. For one thing, inner thoughts, writings, and anything that wasn’t dialogue had no contractions. I don’t know if that’s because Laura Nowlin was trying to make it sound more like the main character, Autumn, but to me, it just felt forced with writing. However, some of the writing to me felt so monotone and just… flat. With the writing specifically, I thought it was beautifully written and very in tune to its main character. I’m going to start with the writing, the characters, and the plot before getting into specifics about what I liked about the story and disliked.
