Cover:
I personally don't really like this cover. It is just to chaotic in my opinion....

Synopsis:
A powerful display of empathy and friendship from the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of If I Stay. Around the time that Freya loses her voice while recording her debut album, Harun is making plans to run away from home to find the boy that he loves, and Nathaniel is arriving in New York City after a family tragedy leaves him isolated on the outskirts of Washington state. After the three of them collide in Central Park, they slowly reveal the parts of their past that they haven't been able to confront, and together, they find their way back to who they're supposed to be. Told over the course of a single day from three different perspectives, Gayle Forman's newest novel about the power of friendship and being true to who you are is filled with the elegant prose that her fans have come to know and love.

Writing style/plot
The book isn't really fast, but it does introduce you to the characters! It feels very realistic and Gayle can write so beautiful and emotional, which I totally love about her writing style!

Characters:
I couldn't really connect to the characters at first. But then, oh my, did they grow on me. I LOVED THEM. Especially Nathaniel. His story is so heart wrenching that you can't help but love him at one point.

Overall: I loved that the story showed you how a person could grow in a short period of time. You just have to let someone in that helps you and gives you the push you need.
This is a character driven book! I enjoyed it a lot.
