A delightfully hopeful, but desperately sad book. I loved Harold. I was really rooting for him, even as his flaws were revealed.
It was heartbreaking at times and those moments really sneak up on you!
Fantastic writing again from Rachel Joyce. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything by her that I haven’t loved.

i don't really know what i expected when i started reading this book, but it definitely wasn't that i'd spend all the last chapters crying.
i think i'd give the book more of a 4.5, and there were some things throughout the story that i didn't really enjoy, but right now, i am way too deep in my feelings to give it any less than 5 stars.
