“Get busy living or get busy dying.” ... “Don’t Shawshank me.”
This book is heartbreaking, sad & beautiful & I also loved it. One of my all time favorite movies is P.S. I Love You & this book has all those vibes. This book deals with terminal illness, loss of a spouse, grief, acceptance & learning to embrace life despite the hard. I seriously cried through the whole book.. at times I was ugly crying & other times I was crying tears of joy. It has a beautiful cast of characters that will not only make you cry but laugh too… It has all the feels! It’s a beautiful love story!
Joshua & Lauren are the perfect couple. Newly married, they're wildly in love, each on a successful & rewarding career path. Then Lauren is diagnosed with a terminal illness. As Lauren's disease progresses, Joshua struggles to come to terms with his future… a future without the only woman he's ever loved. But Lauren has a plan to keep her husband moving forward after she dies. Every month, a letter. Each letter contains a task to help him face this first year without her, leading him on a heartbreaking, beautiful, often humorous journey to find happiness again! I loved how positive Lauren is despite the fact she has a terminal illness. She finds joy in a life well lived despite the fact that it’s not the life she wants to live. It’s seriously a beautiful story! And the audio was amazing!
