This book is phenomenal. It's very nearly a masterpiece. This is without a doubt the very best book I have read all year. I don't give out 5 star reviews lightly. There are only 16 (17 now) on my favorites shelf.
Almost everything about this is perfect. It's sweet, heartfelt, heartwarming, and heartbreaking all at the same time. It's sad, hopeful, and laugh out loud hilarious. Abby was gem and Beck is one of the best leading men I've ever read about.
Literally the ONLY criticism I have is they way Abby's eyes are so repetitively described. They are either "jade green" (4 times) or "sage green" (5 times). This was the only thing about this novel that was even remotely bad. Everything else was perfect.
Read this book now.

Someone tell me why I waited so long to read this again?
First and foremost we have to talk about Beck. Beck was witty and charming and always seemed to know just the right way to coerce Abby into letting go and just live once in a while. He knew when to push her and when to step back. Their first meeting was kind of adorable and I knew right away that I was gonna fall in love with him.
Abby was an interesting character. Forced to focus on her illness for most of her life, she never got to experience regular teen life and she didn't waste a second trying to make up for it. The best parts of her where when she just blurted out what she was thinking. It was awkward and sweet and the fact that Beck took it all in stride only made him even more loveable.
The journey to Abby finding her new self was full of adventure, fun and even a little heartbreak. I've read a lot of stories where we read about the characters struggle to try to live as much as possible after discovering they only have a short time to live. I've never read one where a character is struggling to figure out how to live once they've come out of the other side of a life-threatening illness. This is what made the story truly unique to me.
Towards the end of the book the conflict seemed to come up pretty quickly and felt a little rushed but the ending definitely made up for that. Seriously, can Beck be a more perfect BBF?

It felt a lot like instalove. It was kind of all over the place. And really who follows a girl into a funeral home then just decided he wanted her? I get all the I want to be reckless because I'm a survivor thing but it was a little bit immature at the least. I would try more of her books though to see if it was just this one or it really is her style.

With This Heart is a very different book from Rachel's other ones. It's more serious and it's kind of a coming of age story.
It made me smile but also tear up which doesn't happen to me often.
Abby was a really cute and funny girl. She was very likeable and I truly cared for her. I think we would've been friends if we'd ever met.
I really liked her personality and the way she stepped out of her shell even though she was afraid. Abby was brave and kind and the more I read about her the more I liked her.
Beck was amazing. He was so kind, thoughtful, caring, funny and sweet. I loved how spontanious he was and how much he was helping Abby be herself.
He was also so hot like hello?! And his charisma was the most charming thing about him. He was just that type of guy everybody loves and wants to be around.
Beck and Abby were such a perfect match. Their banter was great, they were so in love and they fit together so well. I loved how easy they got along and I didn't mind the slight insta-love vibe at all.
I had so much fun reading about their road trip and their adventures. I don't read books like that often so it was great to experience some new sights and scenes.
This book also made me really sad at times. I felt like the good times and the bad times were well balanced but man did those bad times suck. First, Caroline. That made me so sad. But my heart really broke at the end when Abby had to let Beck go. I was tearing up. But then, we jumped one year and I was so excited to see how the story would end.
I absolutely adored Abby's poster idea and their reunion was the cutest thing ever. I really fell in love with Beck and Abby and I was happy with how their story ended. It was so cute and adorable but also heart-wrenching and emotional.
Overall I started out just liking the book but I really fell in love with it towards the end. It was emotional and beautiful, very funny and cute and I really enjoyed it.

This is the first book I've read of R.S. Grey's and I need to continue!
I was taken back by how sudden everything was, but I honestly loved how I didn't have to wait for anything.
The story was so well written and it kept me on my toes! These characters were amazing and I was completely in love with their witty conversations. This story just carried me to its ending and I definitely won't forget this.

This book was cute. I wouldn't say it was amazing, completely well written, with die hard incredible characters, but... It was cute.
I never actually felt anything for the characters, there just wasn't enough emotion in the writing I think. But the story was definitely cute, and I kept reading it which says something. But I don't think I'll be in a hurry to read the authors other books.
