In 2012, I made the weird goal of finding a book that would make me cry because it was that emotionally moving.

In many ways, this was an excellent book. In many ways it also really p****d me off. I study literature and you wouldn't catch me dead walking around quoting 'The lovesong of J.

I feel so broken after finishing this...it was so utterly beautiful and heart breaking and wonderful.
I must say I really enjoyed this book. It was written very well and did not drag out the way many stories can. Let's face it, it's a book about two kids with cancer. It's very sad but at the same time there are parts and words to be celebrated. Looking forward to reading more by this author.
