I have to agree with the insta love deal but I really enjoyed this book otherwise. My personal favorite part was the snippets of the other characters that had a role but weren't a major part of the story -- you just got a glimpse of their lives. I wish we got to see more into the mother's of both characters.
I did not see the ending coming but I'm so glad she ended it that way. I think she did a unique thing with the insta-love, how they fell in love for one day, and then drifted apart. They met at the right time because they helped open each other up to new paths for their futures, but it wouldn't have worked out like that if they'd been together, I think. Them finding each other as adults was so sweet, and I can see them picking right up where they left off, but with more maturity and wisdom that 10 years brings.

Also, wow, I wanted to punch the lawyer in the face. That was not cool.

I just finished at this and I loved it. I wasn't going to give it five stars until that ending.I love the epilogue. It was such a sweet moment in time and just pulled all my heartstrings right at the end.
I was hoping we'd hear from Irene again and I'm so glad she narrated the epilogue. For some reason I pictured her as Uzo Aduba in my mind! The side characters were my favorite part of the story and I think Nicola Yoon is such a talented story teller. Overall I gave it 4 stars because I did find a little bit of the love story cheesy but I still enjoyed it a lot. I think it was more about the path they set each other on than the actual relationship.
