literally what the fuck was this book.
the main character was in love with her own uncle. like i just could not get past how weird and uncomfortable that was, and i will never understand why the author decided to do that. and don't think i didn't fucking notice how she made toby say that he understood june's "wrong love" for her uncle, implying that because he's gay he could understand her gross feelings. here's a free tip for straight writers everywhere: don't compare gay love to incest! just don't fucking do it!
i'll be honest, for about a third of the book i sort of enjoyed it - the writing was sometimes really nice, i was very interested in learning more about toby and finn and their relationship, and i guess i was sort of hoping june would realize she didn't actually have a crush on her uncle but she was just lonely and he gave her attention or something. but it got to the point where i couldn't ignore the weird shit anymore, and the author really doubled down on june's feelings as the book went on. i thought this was going to be a moving and emotional story about two people helping each other grieve, but it sucked. i should've put it down the first time i felt uncomfortable.
