This book was so amazing and so sad! It made me cry and books don't do that often. I really loved the story and how it handled parents being terminally ill. It made me so sad but i was so invested in this story. So good :) ( )

I enjoyed it, definitely wouldn't be reading it on a beach though because of emotional factors. One thing I will say is it drug on too long, I'm not sure why a contemporary book would need to be longer than 250-300 pages. ( )

This book made me cry so much, and I mean ugly cry, I mean my eyes were so full of tears that I was blinking every 3 words just to make it so I could read a word or two more. I had to pause multiple times to think while reading this, because I grew up with a trailer up north every summer that my father loves with all his heart, and I realized something while reading this. I realized that as much as my father and I don't get along all the time, that if he were to get sick like this, it would break my heart, and all I would want would be to give him one more summer in the trailer up north in the place he loves the most.

This book made me think about my family, and how much I truly value them. I've witnessed people very close to me die, but thinking for one minute that it could have been or will be my parents broke my heart just as I was reading this book. Morgan Matson has a way of making me think about my life and value what I have and the people I love, I've read all three of her books and have loved each one and they have all made me thought about my life, and I think thats the true sign of an incredible author and an incredible story.

Do Americans have a secret green eyes fetish or something?

It's like my friend is dying. I feel like my heart might leap out of my throat to choke me.
Why am I reading this again?
Right.
A wonderful book. Hard but absolutely splendid.

It HURTS
Because it's always hard to say goodbye. And sometimes even harder still to embrace Tomorrow when Today feels like the world turned to ashes at your feet.

Cathartic, really.
And very, very dear ( )
