This book was funny, romantic, beautiful, and also heartbreaking. The side characters were great, but the story really revolves around the two sisters Sadie and Marin. It is a wonderful read, but be ready for tears.

If you’re looking for a happy, romcom story, this book is not it, despite what the cover may depict. 
I like the letters that tell the story from different angles and going back in time , they bring depth to the story. 
Marin is a lovely character though it took me a few chapters to actually like her. 
I think Lucas was my favourite character, he has it all!

What the sister did was supposed to be all inspiring and opening minds but she was just selfish to trick her sister and hide the cancer from her until it was too late that it ruined it for me

  Almost DNF due to annoyance at the plot but it had enough interesting side characters to keep me going
