Hannah and Davey's story is so complicated, and so beautiful. I have to say, I really loved the complications that each character faced - Davey with his cancer and Hannah with her unfulfilling relationship and missing/loving a man she's never met. Hannah is that lovely heart of gold personality that you can't help but love, and the fact that she's with some gym-bro douche is maddening. George (the gym-bro) is an all too familiar character that I've unfortunately crossed paths with many times, so he was written with incredible accuracy. Davey, sweet and broken Davey...his fatal flaw of pride? I ate it up. 

Overall, I sincerely really loved this story.
