My girls love this book, so I read it as well. I had a hard time with the story. I think the basic story was sweet. But, I like my stories to be realistic and I’m not sure how real the CF was in this story. Would someone with 35% lung function be able to do all the things Stella was doing? I also read from a mom’s perspective and struggled with the teens’ seemingly reckless behavior. I have read enough YA lit to see the appeal for my teens. For me, this one is liked but not loved.

Second time reading it and it still hurt despite the fact i knew how it was going to play out. It’s an amazing book and it gives you insight as to how it is to live with a disease, even if it’s not completely accurate. The love mcs have for eachother and their growth is just amazing.

I love books with dual point of views and the concept and summary seemed right up my alley. With that being said, I did not like this book. The characters were flat, there was nothing passed their CF, nothing passed 

stella's parents divorce

 
We're told so abruptly about everyone's lives. Everything that moves the "plot" is done through dialoged. Speaking of plot, there isn't much of one. Of course once Will and Stella meet there is something, other than that- I don't know what I'm supposed to be rooting for. If I had read this when I was 15, I'd see the romance so maybe I'm not the target audience. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read, I didn't DNF it but I wish it lived up to all the hype around it.
