///ESPAÑOL///
Criticar a este libro sería criticar la vida de una persona, y no soy tan mala gente. Soy bastante insensible en cuanto a la muerte, pero saber que alguien tan especial y que podría haber hecho tanto ya no está sí que me hace mal. No nos olvidemos de Esther.
///ENGLISH///
To criticize this book would mean criticizing a person's life, and I'm not that bad. I don't get feels about this kind of things, but knowing that someone so especial and that could've done much more isn't around anymore really hit me hard. Don't forget Esther.

This book, made me love Esther more than I did before. I really wish I could have known her in person. I look up to her so much and I know she is in a much better place. Her words, her family's words and her friends, were so inspiring and life-changing. I loved how she is such a fangirl and a fellow nerdfighter. Esther is the awesomest.

Deathly combination:
1. Read [b:The Fault in Our Stars|11870085|The Fault in Our Stars|John Green|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1360206420s/11870085.jpg|16827462]. Possibly several times, including two different audiobooks. Warning: Only attempt this if you're a glutton for pain.
2. Start this book.
3. Pause to look up Esther's Youtube account. Find related videos re: Esther by John Green.
4. Cry at work where you're not allowed to be reading anyway.
Optional 5. Have your own amazing group of online friends. Project heavily onto this group of friends.
Seriously, there was snot. There was whimpering. Though this, blessedly, was in my car at lunch where no one could hear me.
I finished the book with my back to my desk and the rest of the room. So much snot.
I'm not a Nerdfighter. I think I'm too old to even be considered. I am a fan of Nerdfighters, though. I'm a fan of John Green the author, and an occasional vlogbrothers watcher.
I kind of love them even harder after this.
And what's interesting is, the parts that Esther herself wrote didn't make me cry. Esther was fantastic. So alive, so bubbly. Even at her worst moments, so thoughtful, so intelligent. It's heart breaking, losing her.
Her friends and family, however. I blame all of you for the snot and you should be ashamed of yourselves for making me a blubbery ball of tears. Shame!
Seriously, this is lovely. Very sweet and very lovely.

It took me quite a while to get through this book, almost a year to be more precise. The reason for that is that I knew that inevitably Esther would die, and I wasn't quite ready to read that, so I kept putting it off.
I feel like I truly got to know Esther through her writing, and I am amazed by how good a writer she was at the young age of 13, and by how much and how deeply she seemed to love everyone around her.
