I realize that I'm in the minority with giving this book below 5 stars but I couldn't help it. I'm a huge fan of a happily-ever-after. Nuff said.
As beautifully written as the story was, and it was beautiful, unfortunately my heart was broken beyond repair. And as much as I loved Gus, I can't find the will to read his book. Love should never die. Ever. Reading his book would be like contradicting that and I just can't.
Yes I loved Kate. Her personality made even me happy. Her relationship with Gus left me envious even while I enjoyed and appreciated their bond. Her relationship with Keller... from their friendship to what they turned into... what they became... they made my heart sing.
My thoughts: this book was bittersweet and full of heavy emotion. My heart feels... heavy. Those letters... the audio CD... I couldn't help but feel it deep. So while I love most everything about the story, I'm leaving my rating as is and hope my review clearly explains my reasoning.
If you're looking for a book that attempts to squeeze out every drop of emotion from you, this one will do it.
Happy reading! xo

This is why I like your reviews :). This book is the daily deal on Audible so I was about to pick it up... but I do not need a book without a happily ever after. I just can't. Thanks for including that in your review.

It's a beautiful story but if you're looking for a happy ending, it's not the book for you.

Wonderful review Natalie. Honesty & a heartfelt review are far more important than any 5 stars. This is now on my list.
Fab review Nat!! xox
I loved this book but I also have it 4 stars. I loved the second book even more.

It's a really good book. I hope you read his story. I thought it was so good.
