This story was an epic. It broke my heart that He tried so hard to live. He left her in places he found extraordinary because he found her to be his cause and effect. He wanted her to live and to wander even if that meant without him. He wanted her to live so badly because he couldn't. The book showed how you don't have to be alike to support, help and love each other. It shows love doesn't always save everything. It showed how a connection can born and grow. How you don't always have to know that you were meant to be together for being together. And most importantly, how a sad ending isn't the final ending. There's more to it after that. This book makes me want to pay it forward, check on the people I hold dear in life, go that extra mile for someone you see in the street. We all have are moments in life where we feel alone, like nothing will ever go right, that we are a burden, etc. Just know that you are so loved, that you are needed, you are important, and that this world would not be the same without you! I also loved how Jennifer included the Virginia Woolfe references.
