We are all dying, from the moment we are born. “It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. —Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor” We should LIVE life. “People waste time and wait for the right moment.”

”The best thing about dying is your friendship.”
This was the sweetest, most heartbreaking book I’ve ever read. I knew they were going to die even before I started the book because duh, obviously, look at the title, but WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DIE????!???
I cried my way through the ENTIRE book (no exaggerations, I genuinely cried through it all) but honestly, I can’t imagine any other ending. It was perfect. Sad and heartbreaking but perfect.

I- I'm speechless this novel is everything good (and bad.. the deaths). The writing was amazing, and i started to tear up reading the end oh my. This is such a beautiful book I recommend this, if you haven't you got to read it!!
