Awww, how sweet was this book? Definitely 4.5/5 stars! I absolutely loved it. Thought I would have been more emotionally affected, tbh.
Be prepared for a lot of ugly face crying. I started this book this evening and couldn't put it down. I basically cried throughout the last third of the book. I feel like I've been hit in the face with a baseball bat. Have a full box of tissues handy.
Really good, and just the book I needed right now honestly.

I half expected this book to be more sad. Believe me I cried, but that's not hard to accomplish. I have the emotional strength of a autumn leave. Besides the point I'm not sure I'm okay with the ending. Not with what happened but with the resolution. I wanted more. Just a chapter more. Something that truly resolved the way I felt toward Will and Lou. The characters were resolved but in not sure the author gave much thought to the idea that maybe her ending wouldn't be enough for the readers.
Spoilers!
I'm so mad at this book and at Will. When Lou finds out about Will's plans I just knew he was going to go through it despite any attempts on Lou's part so I kept reading the book with that in mind which made it infuriating rather than romantic. But when he actually said Lou and her love were not enough but he still wanted her there, I lost it! And on top of that, when she has chosen to distance herself from his decision, they still call her when he was already supposed to be dead. Ugh, no.

This book.... I really liked it a lot. Sad and moving, it makes you think about the choices we make and people we affect. There are just too many great things about it, read it!
I would have written a review, but I watched the movie years ago, and my review would be biased.
