4.0

The kind of book that makes you stop and ask yourself about life, maybe give yourself a good cry. Like Morrie said,
"I give myself a good cry if I need it. But then I concentrate on all the good things still in my life."

Chapters are short, just like how little time Morrie had left. A quick read, got you covered on a lot of topic but only a glimpse of it, again, cz the chapters are short. Nothing new, same old wise words, some said it's too sappy, others feel this book move them. I say it's a nice one to grab whenever you need a life wisdom and a kick to get your life together.

Someone I spoke to on booksta said that they believe books come into their life at a certain time for a reason & this book is a testament to that for me. I kept running into this book everywhere, finally I gave in and bought it, and I'm so grateful for it.

I loved the writing style and Mitch’s voice. I adored Morrie, (because who wouldn’t?), and I admired Mitch and their rekindled relationship. I myself, as a person with mdd & gad I find it very easy to self isolate when life gets hard, and unfortunately relationships tend to suffer that way. This book is one that gives inspiration to take life by the reins and live it while you’ve got it, while giving you the comfort you need to remind you the journey you’ve been on is valid and has meaning.

This is a book of love, friendship, family, loss, life, death, and learning how to live your best life. It's filled to the brim with emotion and though is a short read, physically, it is a story that will sit with you for quite a long time, likely forever. Nothing short of five stars for me, and this definitely will be a repeat read for me - one I can look to when I’m feeling a little lost.
