During the first half of the book, I thought I was gonna give it no more than 3 stars, but then the second half happened and my heart got shattered so brutally I couldn't stop myself from over-looking the objective issues this book had.

I loved this book so much. It talked about themes of grief and how to move on and was so moving. I almost cried so many times.
