Review:
This book was kind
of a miss for me, sadly.
It’s about a boy
and a girl, their love for each other, and what happens when she gets cancer.
I didn’t really
connect very well with the characters, although I did see their affection for
each other, and how he felt for her, and her struggle with cancer. There was a
lot of sweet and sad moments, some humor, some nostalgia (on the characters’
part, not mine).
Overall I think I just didn’t connect well enough,
I didn’t enjoy the art very much, and it left me feeling sad (which is
understandable, but still).
