While there was a lot of potential to the story as a whole, I wasn’t able to relate to Autumn enough for the story to click with me, which is important in a story as character driven as this one is. Overall, the beginning and the end are what made the story for me.
Finn is a more open character, and though Autumn is the one narrating the story, it’s easier to understand him. She keeps much of the important details about herself, her relationships, and her feelings bottled up within her. Much of the story seems to be summarized, as Autumn doesn’t really let us get into her head. It might have been an interesting story, but Autumn is a hard-to-pin-down narrator. What I’d been hoping to see was more of what happens to Autumn after Finn’s death, or at least see their story closer to the time of his death instead of reliving high school with her. However, the story ends up stagnating and dragging on, and I skimmed much of the latter half of the story looking for answers that didn’t come until the end of the novel. Even if they fell into different social spheres in middle and high school, they have a long history of friendship that isn’t easily overcome by social barriers. It’s laid out clearly for us.) It was interesting at first to learn about their childhood, and I was curious about why they stopped hanging out together. However, I didn’t want to go through all of high school with them when I already knew the outcome.
