The pain of losing doesn’t get less with each person I lose. But I have the wisdom of knowing the pain isn’t forever. That fades. The memories stay. And the love isn’t going anywhere.

DNF review!

I rarely DNF so I'm practicing this habit because I have way too many books to read, like many other people.

I'll keep this short. I started this book and was actually liking it. I especially liked Grandma! She was a fun grandma for sure. Then we got to meet more of... I forgot her name (that's how much I was paying attention to this) *searches name* Maddie! That's her name. Anyways, the more I got to know her, the more I disliked her but I kept read for the sake of the other characters.

Janie got on my nerves so that's another character. This Enzo guy... I got skeptical of him very quickly. And, am I the only one who thinks of Enzo (the actor) from The Vampire Diaries? Because he's all I keep picturing for this book-Enzo.

I disliked how Maddie got around Enzo. That's actually where I stop reading, when they met up at his cabin. It's just so... Vomit-inducing. I know I know. It's disgusting. But seriously, I just wanted to gag.

Sadly, this wasn't for me.
