The ending was predictable so that kind of bummed me out. But it was a beautiful story about two people falling in love with a few unexpected surprises mixed in.

A life lived in fear is a life half-lived.

If you give up too many things, you don't live longer, it just feels like you do.

The memory center of the brain is right next to the emotional center, so the emotional power (of the dress) was still there, even though the memory was gone.

A quick read that touched many different emotions. Left me wanting more from some characters and their story.
