The first thing I noticed and the first thing that bothered me the most about this book was that it was in Second Person POV. For those of you who don't know what SP-POV is, it's basically just the excess use of "you" throughout the book; otherwise known as the POV fanfiction writers are most common for using.
Now, I'm not hating on the book just because it's in Second Person POV, but I will say that it did bother me—a lot—while reading.
However, one thing I did really like about this book, was the switching of the perspectives. By that, I mean that in one chapter, we were reading through the plane crash, but then in another chapter, we were reading in the hospital or across the states. I love when authors do this, as I like the out of order events.
It was clear throughout the book that the words and actions of the characters were supposed to pull at your heartstrings and make you feel what the MC was feeling. And I did—I felt for the MC and I felt what she was feeling. I understood her pain over her loss, and I understand everything she chose and went through after the crash.
If you aren't fans of Second Person POV, I wouldn't suggest this book for you. However, if you are fans of Contemporary Romance (aka fluff), this would be a book for you.
I rate this book 3/5 stars. ( )
