This is a new author for me , This book was also very hard for me, because it hit a lot too close to home – not little, but a lot.
I have lost my mom, dad and brother to cancer. I even had to take a break from reading this and writing my review, and go do something else, I was sobbing while thinking of what I wanted to say and tell people how I felt about this book.
I have always stated that if you pick up a book such as this and did not feel your heart been ripped out or feel as if you merge your own soul with the characters, then you will not be good reading this, If you get so into a book that you literally become the character through your own feelings and eyes, and certain things trigger you, then this book may also not be for you.
I cried like a baby starting about halfway through the book unto the very last page. That’s a lot of crying in just a few hours time. It brought back everything I went through with my family members who died of cancer. I am going to try and be patient for the rest of the band’s stories, and hope they are not as painful as this one. It hurt, a lot, but it was such a beautiful story I am glad I read it, and stuck with it until the end.This is an amazing book. It was a hard book to read with me shedding so many tears. The way it has been wrote, it really made me feel as if I were right there in the book, Feeling everything the characters felt. I loved how strong Alice was and even though things were bad she still managed to show her strength even when she wanted to break down. The love between Alice and her brother Joel was more than just brother and sister it felt like a more mother and son type of love. Damon was just plain amazing. You could see the depth of his love for Alice but also the love he had for Joel in such a short time. This book was very well written, the characters were easy to fall in love with. You could feel the emotions pouring off the pages. I would recommend this book to everyone. But a few words of advice when reading this amazing book…make sure you have tissues handy.
Highly Recommended 5 ***** Rating read.
