Poppy is a 17
year old who doesn’t believe in love.
Noah is a
heartthrob guitarist sleeping with women to fill a void.
I haven’t cried
at a book in a long time, but the ending of this book broke my heart, I cried.
I cried for the love that couldn’t continue and the love that had such
potential. It is such a beautiful book and an amazing love story.
At the beginning
I wasn’t took fussed about this book, Poppy seemed to annoy me because she was
such a cynic; she hated clichés and the ‘norm’. She moaned a lot, especially
about where she lived in ‘Middletown’ but as the book went on and she met Noah
she got less annoying. I am not sure if it’s because her character changed so
drastically and she became a cliché or if it was because I loved Noah.
From the Noah
appeared in the book I loved him, he wasn’t afraid to tell Poppy how he felt
even though she could throw it back in his face, he wasn’t scared of this unseen
force pulling them together, he embraced it and wanted to be with Poppy, he
loved her.
The friendship
between Poppy and Ruth got on my nerves, I found myself kept wanting to shout
at Poppy to just stop being friends with her; she was so snobby and slutty.
Throwing herself at Noah in front of Will and Poppy was really low, but Poppy
would just let it slide and I never understood why.
The ending of
this book shocked me, I thought this would be a classic Young Adult love story
and they’d live happily ever after, but I was so wrong. They were torn apart,
unable to stay together because of what their love was doing to the world, the
freak weather and power outages. I cried, I felt like their love was so strong
and should have been able to overcome anything, but the one thing they couldn’t
do was sacrifice the world so they could be together, and it was heart
wrenching. Reading the letter Noah wrote to Poppy at the end honestly broke my
heart, I woke up after reading this book feeling drained – honestly had a book
hangover.
