Review:
I loved this book. It gave me an idea of what it was like to have a chronic illness, and the emotional burden that comes with it. Although I, like many others, don’t usually like romance novels, I really enjoyed this book, as it was an example of the powers of friendship and love. After reading this story, I felt deeply moved, and I understood the fact that everyone deserves to have an amazing life, no matter how short or long.
