Not a book to read if a person is in a depressed mood (given the attempted suicide early on in the book and what begins the central plot of the story). However, ultimately, it is about finding the meaning in YOUR life and what makes it special. Very philosophical, but that’s part of the charm and what made it memorable to me.

This story was beautiful! I think it was a good read as someone who has been suicidal in the past and has often felt an intense loss of will to continue. I think the end felt a bit rushed into what a semi-perfect version of things would be like. But I understand the point is to be hopeful. Overall, I loved this read! The way it tackles regrets and intentional living is wonderful.

it's a certainly flawed book and quite predictable, but it has one of those messages that never hurt to hear an infinite number of times

A quick read packed with insight, heartfelt tenderness and the most brilliant spark of hope. 
The energy of this book is akin to a quick comforting squeeze from a hand held.
