4.25

I'm honestly between 4-4.5 so u thought 4.25 is a good fit.

Wow wow wow this book was life-changing to me. It was sad but wonderful all the same. I myself have always been on the fence about being an organ donor since I always thought it would be best to die in one piece, but this book changed my perspective on that. I've always had a close relationship with death not fearing it as much, but if I were in Amelia’s shoes that might be a different story. I now what to be an organ donor myself, and will be in the process of changing my ID as soon as I can. I now know how many innocent people have to wait so long for a single chance to get an organ they need. I hope one day, I will be able to be that person; for that one life can get that call, and as they wake up from their life-changing surgery they can look into the sky and think, “bittersweet.”
