Really good story, could be a bit repetitive at times. The male characters had this annoying trait of of talking about women a bit weirdly but it’s easy to look past it. The main protagonist was very likeable and the multiple perspectives was done really well

I knew I was gonna cry, and I did, and my heart is broken.

If you liked the movie, you’ll like this, too. The movie cut out a lot about the characters.

The ending was very unexpected! I cried multiple times, especially near the end of the novel. I loved that there’s multiple POV’s as well as Kate and Anna’s relationship. Overall, this is a beautiful book.

Correct ending would have been either 1) Kate dies naturally without kidney donation and Anna lives her best, independent life or 2) Anna donates her kidney with her own consent and cherishes the extra time with her sister. Anna deserves so much better than this ending!!!
