This was an amazing book. It was told in the perfect way in the character development was great too.
  The ending though? I did NOT see that coming. I knew it was supposed to be a sad book, but it still took me a surprise.<spoiler/> The ending was nicely bittersweet too. It was a great story about second chances. And as the book only has nine chapters, I think the author did that on purpose, just to show that life never always finishes where it’s expected to.

I wasn’t too sure about this in the beginning. The writing style grew on me and I grew to love it by the end of the book. The emotions portrayed left me with a pit in my stomach. It’s a short read but I a very impactful one.
