Personally I wasn't a fan but I can see how others could be. Teenage boys are brats and that is frustrating to read.

Wow. I need time to process, I am utterly speechless. Heart breaking. Yet so beautiful. "That life is fragile, yet in that fragility, there is strength. There is love. There is purpose. It reminds us that life is short, that our breaths are numbered and our destiny is fixed, regardless of how hard we fight. It reminds us not to waste a single second. Live hard, love harder. Chase dreams, seek adventures … capture moments." Such a beautiful, tragic story.

What I’m the ever-loving hell did I just read??

This book made me bawl my fucking eyes out. 

Don’t do it…

But for real, the writing in this book was very “young” to me. It fit the ages of the main characters but made it hard for me to get into it. When I finally got into it, I had to stop frequently because I couldn’t see through all the tears (and I am NOT a crier).
