I sobbed most of this book. I think it is the hardest I have cried in years. Part of me isn't sure why it broke me so much I haven't really had any similar experiences and I don't fear nor particularly mind dying. All I know is it broke me and I'll need a few days to recover.
Side note: I saw alot of people didn't like Julie and thought the books middle part was unnecessary but, I completely disagree I think is shows both Julie coming to terms with Sam's death and also how her actions impact the people around her.
