Tear jerker!!

MAN WHAT DID I JUST READ????
This book is so beautiful urghhh. I thought this story was going to be boring as hell, but guess what? I ended up bawling my eyes out while reading the last few chapters. :( The story teaches us to appreciate the value of time, and family and friendship through the life of Lou Suffern, who aims for higher things in life, rather than being thankful for what he has already achieved in life. There were so many beautiful lines in the book OMG. I don't even know how to describe this book properly. ^_^
This line got me so bad- "If miracles had chemical equations, then everyone would believe in them. " <3
And this one too- “Time cannot be packaged and ribboned and left under trees for christmas morning.Time can't be given.But it can be shared”

As much as I love Cecelia Ahern, this book took me an awfully long time to get into. I felt it didn't really get interesting until just after halfway through BUT I'm still giving it four stars because when it got good, it got REALLY good. Cecelia Ahern definitely knows what she's doing, and how to touch your heart.

I should have known better, of course the Cecelia Ahern book was going to make me cry. Not exactly the festive book I was after but it was close enough.

All Cecelia Ahern's books have been different and this one is no exception.
