I'm not crying...oh, wait, I am...

The title may ruin the end, but it doesn't do it justice. The entire book warmed my heart and took me on a journey that I think I needed to hear myself. The plot builds perfectly and the love and the hate that grows in you will feel like too much. 
In my own delusion, I refused to read the last few pages just so they could not make the title come true. But, eventually I had to. And it just made me sad...and then happy. You'll see when you read it.

The characters start off unlikable. (Andrea does not help this impression. She knows what she did.) But grow into who they'd be if they had more time, and it's bittersweet to see that glimpse of their adult selves.

Exactly what you'd expect from a book with this title. In addition to the focus on the two main characters and the relationship they foster, I thought it was an elegant touch to interweave several additional character stories into the larger picture - showing just how accidentally connected we really are.

As far as the two main characters, Mateo and Rufus; I did find Mateo to be particularly frustrating the first half of the book, but that just lent to the charm of him as the story progressed. I would have liked to see a larger focus on Rufus and his growth, personally. It felt like the book was split 75/25 between Mateo's issues and Rufus'.

The short story "The Father Does Not Die at the End" included in the collector's edition was so heartbreaking... and absolutely tied the story off in a perfect way. I would not have considered the story complete without it.
