Well. I have no idea what happened to my first review of this book, but that's all right, I guess. I could rave about this book without tiring.
I've lost count of the number of times I've read this. This book is my feel-good go-to, one I see as important as the Harry Potter series. It's heartfelt, covering the story of two people facing troubles in their lives finding out things that are worth living for. Their process of healing together is so fun to immerse into, with Christine and Adam's wittiness. Pacing is fantastic as well, and all the characters are realistic and likeable (except for a couple of Adam's relatives, of course). At times, I grow emotional from how romantic the story is, other times by how... just... both of them are feeling because of Adam's reluctance to live. But labeling this book as entirely pessimistic is not true, and I always find myself enjoying it a lot.
Highly recommended to all who'd like a feel-good read. There are situations of suicide included within, so if it's a sensitive topic to you, then you might want to turn away. Be assured that the author handles it responsibly, however. There may be a sort of lightness in this book, but there are also many instances that the feelings of a suicide victim are acknowledged and taken seriously.
