emotional reflective sad medium-paced

This is my second time reading this book after about 8 or 9 years. It’s sad book but makes me reflect on what life would look like with a terminal illness. What would be the focus?

This book almost made me cry. ALMOST!! This book started very slow but then I just fell in love with them. The only reason I am giving it this low of a score is that the book did not start out in a way I liked and it felt like there was something to be desired.

This book is no regular romance; the characters are intelligent and reflective, their thoughts are like poetry, it made this book of words fly by so fast. The ending was heartbreaking yet lovely. Everything that happened felt intensional, i was grateful for that. The quotes I got from this book are real tear jerkers/ worthy of being in a philosophers paper. I think I’ll read this again.
