🍂Talking about the writing style it's easy to understand. The author have wrote this novel in a creative way, in both Ruin's POV and Poppy's POV. Author creative style to write this novel in such amazing way makes it more intriguing. It's what I like the most.
🍂About the characters, both the lead characters Ruin and Poppy are quite opposite of each other.
Poppy is vibrant, cheerful girl full of positivity, who cherished every moment of life, live her life to the fullest.
“I’m the girl who wakes up early to watch the sunrise. I’m the girl who wants to see the good in everyone, the one who is taken away by a song, inspired by art. I’m that girl, Rune. The one who waits out the storm simply to catch a glimpse of a rainbow.”
Ruin on the other hand is cold, quite, introvert boy. Who doesn't care about the world but her. The character arc of Ruin is non-uniform like he is cold, responsible, arrogant, careless. It's like he will let the world burn for Poppy. But sometimes i really don't like Ruin for his rude behavior.
And about the supporting charecters, they are normal doesn't play much important role, but thats okay.
🍂l like this novel from beginning till the last word, it's a heart wrenching one yet heartwarming . The cute things Ruin did for Poppy, their love, their understanding, their bond all are so sweet. And the ending, a perfect ending. This novel will brought you to tears. Without any second thought pick it if you want to read good novel.
