I wish I had read this book in middle school so I could fully appreciate it as the desired audience. I also wish I had read the book before watching the movie (although I did enjoy the movie more and it had a few differences in details). I think I would have enjoyed it more. All in all, I enjoyed the story of two teenagers and their journey together, and even as an adult, it makes you truly question your beliefs and, in my case, reaffirm them and inspire me for the future. To not take life for granted. For that, I would recommend this book.

This book made me laugh, sigh, and go ‘awwwww’ so many times and then made me almost cry so many more. I haven’t felt this much emotion in a book in a long long time. 

‘You gave me a forever within our numbered days, and I’m grateful’
