Devastatingly beautiful
It’s not often that I read a book and come away knowing I’d be best friends with the three main characters. There’s something so real about Susie, Zach and Em. I spent most of the book wishing I could give them all big hugs.
This is a story about courage. About pride. About living. About love. As someone with extensive experience in cancer and palliative care, I can tell you the sections about Suzie’s cancer and death are written with a heart-breaking realism that only comes from lived experience.
Books don’t make me cry often. This made me sob. It was an amazing read that I devoured in a few hours.
