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

Aww thanks hon! I just didn't want anyone else to go into it completely blind. It's a beautiful story but if you're looking for a happy ending, it's not the book for you.


Thanks Deborah! I truly hope you love it because aside from the fact that it had me practically bawling, it was a beautiful read! 💕

You're so brave, Lisa! I loved Gus so much but I haven't built up the courage to read his book because these characters tore my heart apart so ruthlessly!! 💕
