I was looking for a romcom. Instead, I found a book that made me cry, and I almost never cry at books.

I wasn't a fan of the start and I didn't quite understand the double POV, but by half of the book I was hooked and it was such a great read. With a heart crushing ending, be warned. 
I loved Marin and her constant anxiety, the need to be in control and sacrifice everything for others, and Lucas.. oh boy, the perfect man. To be fair I loved all the characters and how they interacted with each other, I almost felt part of the Saba community myself. 
I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did

Very slow to start. Once the plot started to unravel it became more engaging. Very emotional but beautiful.

What the sister did was supposed to be all inspiring and opening minds but she was just selfish to trick her sister and hide the cancer from her until it was too late that it ruined it for me

  Almost DNF due to annoyance at the plot but it had enough interesting side characters to keep me going
