Prepare for your heart to die (a dozen times over) when you pick up this book. Play the Interstellar soundtrack in the background.

This book is devastating but hopeful. If you're looking for a light read, this isn't it. It deals with extreme existentialism. But that's sci fi for you. That aside it's a very well written romance. Probably my favourite book I've read so far this year.
