3.5
“We’re all a little broken. We are a mosaic. We’re made up of all those we’ve met and all the things we’ve been through. There are parts of us that are colorful and dark and jagged and beautiful. And I love every piece of you. Even the ones you wish didn’t exist.”
I really thought that this would end up being better than Part of Your World, based on the first 50%. Alas, that was not the case here. I really appreciate the personal touch that this book had, and the author's note that went with it. I really liked the main characters, Jacob and Briana. The struggles that they dealt with felt very realistic: the anxiety representation and the struggles that people feel when dealing with a chronic illness was portrayed very well. These elements of the book, along with the letter writing and the relationship development, were some of the reasons that I was expecting this book to be better.
Now, onto what I didn't like...
Overall, this book had a cute first half, and a disappointing second half, which made the rating of this book lower than Part of Your World.

Jacob's anxiety and Briana's fear were so real and palpable. You could feel the love and fear and heartbreak.
I barely have any words for this. It was so good. I can't wait to read more by Abby Jimenez.
