A whimsical, cartoon-style illustration captures a dark-haired girl (in a yellow dress) and a blonde-haired boy (in a grey sweater) holding hands. They stand in an endless field of vibrant, softly-rendered wildflowers. Dark, looming clouds roll ominously in the background, their presence deliberately contrasting with the tender scene below. The clouds form a subtle broken heart shape that fades into the sky. The characters’ expressions are bittersweet—she looks down slightly, and he glances at her, a delicate smile barely visible. The horizon blends grey into soft yellow hues to symbolize sadness and fleeting happiness entwined.

The cartoon-style art reflects the young adult genre and invites readers to connect with the nostalgia of childhood friends. The imagery juxtaposes joy and heartbreak through the bright, lively flowers and the foreboding dark clouds. The typography mirrors this contrast—an emotionally charged but approachable script font for the title juxtaposed with a clean, understated font for the author’s name. The use of matte stock with UV-accented clouds not only elevates the tactile experience but also gives a subtle nod to the story’s exploration of grief and love. Together, the elements create a memorable and deeply evocative design fit for the novel's themes.
