This is a very sad book, but it is very fascinating to see, what a big thing love is, and what it can do to us. The book touches your heart, and brings tears to your eyes. It makes you think about your own life, and that you should appreciate everything you have in your life.
I would suggest this book to anyone, because it would be interesting for teens and young adults. It really grabs your attention!
