First, I almost never read the acknowledgements at the end of a book but after finishing this story, I felt like I had to. READ THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AT THE END OF THE BOOK!! The emotion and kindness and respect shown by the author toward the inspirations for the story is incredible.
This book was recommended to me by a patient and I am so thankful she did. I went in completely blind and I honestly recommend that approach. Even though you learn what's happening fairly quickly, it made the story that much more impactful. This story made me almost cry multiple times, smile so hard my cheeks hurt. I felt for every character and was so thankful for the people surrounding Edward. This story makes you stop and think about how you need to live your life because you never know what will happen next. Tell your family you love them. Write the book you been keeping in your mind. Take pictures of everything. Travel everywhere. Love and live.
