It's not rare for a book to make me cry but very few have made me so emotional that I had to put it down several times to calm down before continuing as this one did.
From the title you could assume this is a story about, and on its surface it is. But it's so much more than that.
This is a story about two boys learning that they are going to die and they have 24 hours to live their lives right. We have 368 pages to live their lives with them and honestly it felt like such an amazing life.
This is, on the surface, a story about death but at its core it's so much more. This is a story about friendship, about family, about courage, and happiness, about grief, about loss, about love. At its core this is a story about life. A story about living.
I couldn't recommend it enough.
