Beautiful, heartbreaking, devastating, incredible! Surprised me so many times! The main character was wonderful, as was the scene setting of Alaska. The kind of book that just lives in you. A story about absolutely unconditional love. 
Highly recommend but warn that your heart will be ripped out and stomped on before the end!!!
I listened to the audio book which was brilliant but this is one I am sure I would have been equally as enthralled by the physical book.

Goodness. I knew this was going to be an emotional journey/read, and it was even more feels than expected. It was a beautifully written book, and it absolutely gutted me. It was a heavy read, but also a captivating one. It's one that's just going to stay with me for a long while.

It’s always the moms and it’s always cancer. She’s wrong for what she did to Matthew. Patience is a virtue, Leni.
