I quite enjoyed this book although sometimes it didn't move quickly enough. I think if maybe 20% of the book had been cut, it would have been better.
I identified tremendously with Holly. My stepmother of 25 years died very unexpectedly on February 2nd this year. When I read that date as when Gerry died my stomach did a little drop. I had never lost anyone really close whose death was unexpected. I've lost grandparents who had led very full and good lives and while they were sad, they didn't qui ...more

Only 2 books have ever made me cry before - one was the Notebook and the other I can't recall (but I'm pretty sure it was animal related) - and I only cried at the end after I got to know the characters and their stories; this one had me going from the beginning through to the last chapter. That the author was able to make me care about the characters, their story and their heartache, that quickly speaks volumes about the book and the depth of emotion in it.

Dit boek heb ik met een paar dagen uitgelezen! Kon niet meer stoppen met lezen. Je leeft je helemaal in, in de personages van het boek. Heb niet echt gehuild bij het boek, maar had wel een brok in mijn keel. De film heb ik inmiddels ook gezien en die is ook indrukwekkend!
