I’d heard so many good things about this book and I couldn’t wait to start it once it had downloaded onto my kindle. 

The book starts gently and welcoming, you get to know Callie and Joel and fall in love with them both individually and as a couple. You can relate to them so much, the writing is truly beautiful and invites you in to read page after page. 

As gentle as it starts, I knew going in that there was going to be a turning point, and of course that came, and yet I still wasn’t prepared for the emotions I went through from that part of the book through to the ending. I cry lots at the best of times when it comes to books that are emotionally charged, such as Rowan Coleman’s ‘The Memory Book’ or Jojo Moyes’ “Me Before You”, however this broke me completely. I was anxious that I wanted to know how it ended, but equally didn’t want it to end, both in enjoyment of the book and worried that it would be every bit as heart-breaking as the strap-line declares it to be. I was upset at the events in the book. I was touched at the very last page. I was basically a complete wreck, and yet I’d read it again in a heart beat.

This has been an incredibly short review, but it’s one of those books that you have to experience it for yourself, no words can do it justice. Beautifully written and once you get wrapped up in Joel and Callie’s lives, you won’t want to put it down.
