This book was beautiful. It was beautifully written, everything. I’d already seen the movie about a dozen times, so I wanted to try the book. As most people say, “The book is usually better.” That is an understatement here. If you haven’t read this book, you are seriously missing out.

Don't think of me too often. I don't want to think of you getting all maudlin. Just live well.

Just live.

I loved the story and the character development, but I feel that the blatant ableism and harmful mindsets portrayed in this book dampened a story that could've and should've been much more emotional and impactful than it was.
