mysecretgarden's review against another edition
4.0
This book is about fear and love, and how they seem to go hand in hand most of the time. Most of all, it’s about time. While we still have it. It's about missing someone who is still here .
Such a heartwarming novella .
Quotes :
- "The only time you’ve failed is if you don’t try once more.”
- Mathematics has blessed the boy in that sense, because he’s no longer afraid of the thing almost everyone else is terrified of: infinity. Noah loves space because it never ends. It never dies. It’s the one thing in his life which won’t ever leave him.
-“The worst part about growing old is that I don’t get any ideas anymore.”

Another great story by Backman. I read it aloud to my husband on a road trip and had to keep stopping to regain my composure. Such rich word choices and turns of phrases.

This book is so sad. I think all the reviews of people saying it made them cry had me expecting the same for myself, however, I did not cry. I wish this was a little longer, if it was I feel like it would have impacted me more and I would have connected more to the characters but overall the message was loud and clear and my heart still hurts a little because of it.
